CLUSTER VIRTUAL-CHAT-CUSTOMIZE · 6 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2013-08-09

3D avatar social virtual worlds

This cluster consists of mobile and social applications centered on customizable 3D avatars, virtual home decoration, and social interaction in user-created spaces. With only four dated entries before the index start, the cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from; it predates the index or its members are undated. Traction leaders by activity signal are IMVU, Avakin Life, and Second Life, all showing zero stars but ranking highest in the cluster.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 6 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
