Myrl Connecting our Virtual Lives?

"The virtual scene is getting really crowded and users need a tool that helps them reduce and manage this complexity. We are now supporting 19 virtual worlds and we are going to integrate more platforms by the end of the year. The release of the Social Gateway for Virtual Worlds is the first step of a long roadmap. The way we use virtual worlds is changing, and we intend to support and foster this change." -- Francesco D’Orazio founder and CEO of Myrl

The current closed off state of virtual worlds naturally demanded the need for a FriendFeed. This is exactly what Myrl wants to be. Myrl is a web based social gateway that is designed to make the experience of using virtual worlds more interconnected.

Myrl allows people to connect their various virtual lives (i.e. your World of Kaneva account with your friend's vSide account) and interact with people who are not present on their virtual world -- yet. Myrl members could than share their virtual life on the web by creating their avatar profile and post content such as popular places, events, news and images that every user can vote on (or Myrl) to make them more visible for the rest of the community.

Currently Myrl does not support sign up to different virtual worlds right from within Myrl. Myrl is not a virtual world in its own right but rather a glue that connects these different isolated places.
