Examples	Ogoglio "The Ogoglio project is exploring shared online worlds in the context of web enabled work. If World of Warcraft is 'the new golf', then we're exploring 'the new business district'. We are creating spaces where people will meet with remote coworkers, collaborate using new tools, integrate existing business applications, and enjoy the benefits of being in the same office with people in different time zones. The first service providing 3D workspaces will be Ogoglio City, an online business district for creative professionals who grew up with the Internet. New media producers take connectivity for granted and they do not hesitate to synthesize multiple sources and then iteratively publish the result on a variety of media. The Ogoglio project is focused on providing a space for creative people to collaboratively produce and market digital services." » http://www.ogoglio.com See also the blog ("A public record of my projects and related works") of Trevor F.
