Taatu: Another Virtual World

getting all the attention these days, especially in the English-speaking world. Taatu, based in Belgium. It's not new, having launched in Belgium and The Netherlands in 2005.

A European alternative to avatar characteristics and other aspects of the look-and-feel are similar, much more so than the far more realistic Second Life environment. Either way, it's interesting seeing such virtual, er, real developments.
