Alice, over at the Wonderland blog, had the chance to see the demo of the new social/game world Whirled . It’s a web-based project with tons of the MySpace/Second Life/YouTube elements that are becoming so common with these projects. The difference with the Three Rings design is the look: it’s ugly.

“Kids can make their own animations which is good, because if you look out there, it seems ugly is a key feature of rapid viral growth. [laughter] So we’ll release all the source for these minigames and make it really easy to hack them up… so people will make their own stuff. Most of [what you are seeing here] is player-created.”
