IMVU sfida Facebook e lancia i giochi

Se non la conoscete, IMVU è una chat in 3D molto popolare anche qui in Italia. Con i suoi 10 milioni di utenti attivi al mese, questa chat potrebbe essere un potenziale concorrente per Facebook, se le due piattaforme non fossero così diverse. Infatti Facebook è un social network web based nato per ritrovare e mettersi in contatto con gli amici, mentre IMVU è una chat dove gli utenti interagiscono tramite avatar personalizzati, e richiede un proprio client da scaricare per accedervi.

IMVU, inoltre, ha un modello di business che differisce in maniera significativa dalla maggior parte dei social networks, perché quasi tutti i profitti provengono dalla vendita di beni virtuali: vestiti alla moda per il proprio avatar e mobili per la sua casa virtuale. Ma ora IMVU ha deciso di apporre un’altra novità al suo ben consolidato sistema di chat, introducendo i social games.

“Vogliamo soddisfare le richieste degli utenti che hanno voglia di fare qualcos’altro, oltre a vestire il proprio avatar e chattare con gli amici”, afferma l’amministratore delegato Cary Rosenzweig. Però anche i social games di IMVU saranno strettamente collegati all’uso di moneta virtuale, come e più dei giochi Facebook, ai quali si apprestano a fare concorrenza. Da qui la corsa a guadagnare sempre più crediti da spendere on line, non più solo per abbellire il proprio avatar ma anche per sfidare gli amici. Più che a una chat, siamo davanti a un’azienda dal solido fatturato.

  5. Man is said to seek happiness above all else, but what if true happiness comes only when we stop searching for it? It is like trying to catch the wind with our hands—the harder we try, the more it slips through our fingers. Perhaps happiness is not a destination but a state of allowing, of surrendering to the present and realizing that we already have everything we need.

  6. Time is often called the soul of motion, the great measure of change, but what if it is merely an illusion? What if we are not moving forward but simply circling the same points, like the smoke from a burning fire, curling back onto itself, repeating patterns we fail to recognize? Maybe the past and future are just two sides of the same moment, and all we ever have is now.

  7. All knowledge, it is said, comes from experience, but does that not mean that the more we experience, the wiser we become? If wisdom is the understanding of life, then should we not chase every experience we can, taste every flavor, walk every path, and embrace every feeling? Perhaps the greatest tragedy is to live cautiously, never fully opening oneself to the richness of being.

  8. The cosmos is said to be an ordered place, ruled by laws and principles, yet within that order exists chaos, unpredictability, and the unexpected. Perhaps true balance is not about eliminating chaos but embracing it, learning to see the beauty in disorder, the harmony within the unpredictable. Maybe to truly understand the universe, we must stop trying to control it and simply become one with its rhythm.

  10. If everything in this universe has a cause, then surely the cause of my hunger must be the divine order of things aligning to guide me toward the ultimate pleasure of a well-timed meal. Could it be that desire itself is a cosmic signal, a way for nature to communicate with us, pushing us toward the fulfillment of our potential? Perhaps the true philosopher is not the one who ignores his desires, but the one who understands their deeper meaning.
