Tonight at 6pm Pacific, Join Me in Blue Mars For a Halloween Party and Fashion Contest Judged By Iris Ophelia -- and Get a First Look at the New Blue Mars!

Today at 6pm PST in Blue Mars, come join me and Iris Ophelia for a big Halloween party and fashion contest being judged by Iris in the Welcome Area. (She and I are consultants for the next gen virtual world.) If you haven't seen how diverse, creative, and crazy Blue Mars avatars can be lately, I think you may surprised. But that's just the start -- today Avatar Reality is also launching a major update to the Blue Mars software. Among the new features:

A hugely enhanced website, showing off all the features and sites in-world.
Direct web teleport links, a bit similar to SLurls, called Blinks.
Enhanced camera controls, which enable you to detach the view from your avatar.

There's many more features now and even bigger ones coming soon. I'm totally biased, of course, but I'm pretty excited to see them take shape. For tonight, hope you join Iris and I in Blue Mars at 6pm PST. Go here to download the free software here (downloading takes an hour or two.)

Join Me in Blue Mars.... unless you are one of the 40% of users that have Macs.

Actually its more like 15% of computers are macs. If it was 40% it would mean almost half of all my friends have macs, and this isnt the case, most people use windows based machines.

considering the comparably small numbers of macs outthere it is no wonder they concentrated on the bigger market first ... or maybe just a small part of it as well since Blue Mars does not run that well on non state of the art computers. And this might be the biggest challenge to overcome for it's developers if they want to grow bigger.

However .. have lots of fun everyone who can attend ^_^

Cloud deployment of Blue Mars is coming extremely soon for Mac users and more, stay tuned!

Mac shmac. The real trouble is for the large percentage of us who don't have computers that can handle Blue Mars.
