Minsh Layering an Undersea Virtual World on top of Twitter
While services like Blerp are being used to create virtual worlds on top of websites, Minsh is doing the same thing, but in reverse, on top of Twitter conversations.
Currently in closed alpha, this new application lets players tweet in a fully 3D ocean with fish as avatars for other Twitter users. Simply click the chat bubbles and tweet away.
Visually, it isn’t that impressive yet, but it has potential. The fish look decent, but Minsh could add more features to the open ocean backdrop, such as barrier reefs or trenches.
Overall, as pointed out by Ralph Koster, this marriage of virtual worlds and Twitter could lead to synchronous communication in Twitter, which has typically been more asynchronous.
