This is BIG news for us. We have been waiting for a long time to release embeddable (think: YouTube videos) virtual worlds. You can now create a virtual space on Metaplace, and embed the world into your blog, website, or anywhere you’d like. The possibilities are really endless with this – you could have lobbies for your blog, you could have fan spaces or DJ events, concerts, you name it. My brain is already turning with ideas…this really makes me want to create more.
At the moment, you have to have a Metaplace account to log in, but you can register right through the embed. If you’re a blogger and you want to embed, you can do it by going up to the “Share It” menu while you’re in your world. We also have documentation here on our wiki. If you’re on Wordpress, the easiest way to embed is by installing the MP2WP plugin by Miki.
The world I’m going to embed here is a Steampunk themed world by Dalian, a Metaplace beta tester. It’s one of my recent faves. Check it out!
