MyMiniLife New Virtual World and social network
The monotony of Facebook and MySpace brought these University computer science students, founders of MochaSoft, LLC, to develop something mixing the enormously successful massive multiplayer online gaming market with the social appeal of networking Web sites.
“You don’t just want to be another Facebook or MySpace knock off,” Yang said. “It’s this entire Sim City-like world online.”
The site may feel just like a day with a Sim family, but it goes much deeper.
Yang’s character, or “MiniMe”, walked across the white linoleum floor to his full size, leopard-print bed. His virtual apartment, nicknamed “Zamland,” is a perfect representation of his actual apartment on the corner of Sixth and Stoughton streets. MiniMe’s are fully customizable, from clothes to hair colors and styles.
