3Dwalkthroughs.com just recently came across a pretty interesting French company called Yoowalk. Yoowalk is a no-download virtual world which lets you browse the web, connect with friends, and design your own space in a live 3D environment.
After registering on the site I was able to go in and personalize my avatar. Once I saved my avatars settings I did a little exploring. Yoowalk wiil essentially allow anyone to build a virtual version of their website using their do it yourself tools. That functionality is not availble yet as they are still in their beta stage.
Features of Yoowalk
