IMVU users can now develop for their world-like 3D chatspace using SketchUp, the free 3D design program bought by Google some months back. SecondLife should have a SketchUp importer one of these days.

I got a lot of flak from people when I last mentioned IMVU and how I didn’t much care for their service. Turns out it’s been vastly updated and a lot of people seem to like it. I still like Yahoo’s static avatars and Second Life better but I see there is a market for smaller avatar-driven applications.
