What happens when video games meet Web 2.0?
When virtual worlds meet geospatial maps of the planet? When simulations get real and life and business go virtual? When you use a virtual Earth to navigate the physical Earth, and your avatar becomes your online agent?
What happens is the metaverse.

I am still working on this article on virtual worlds in education, an ran across this report from January 26, 2009. According to Virtual Worlds Management, more than 200 youth-oriented worlds are currently live or in development. This is an increase from 150 known youth-oriented virtual worlds in August of 2008.

I pulled the listing into a spread sheet and did a little inquiry. Here are some of the things I found:

* 38 of the virtual worlds products are explicitely intended for children six and younger.
* Two are being developed in Australia, 2 in Belgium, 8 in Canada, 2 in China, 3 in Denmark, 4 in Finland, 2 in France, 4 in Germany, 3 in Israel, 5 in Japan, 4 in Korea, 2 in Spain, 2 in Sweden, 14 in the UK, and 126 in the U.S.
* One is in Alpha, 10 are in closed beta, 36 are in open beta, 7 are in concept, and 26 are under development. Most of the rest are live.
