 Clickable Culture - ‘IMVU’ Now $9M Richer
While IMVU bears some resemblance to virtual worlds such as There.com and Second Life, it is a much more focused affair, therefore the infusion of $9M will doubtless go further than investments in its closest competitors.
In any event, IMVU recently began to categorically state that they are now targeting children (SecondLife is Adults Only anyway) and claimed to be growing more quickly than MySpace.
IMVU made its internet debut in August 2004 and became available to the public during September of that year.

 VWN World Review: IMVU
IMVU, coming from the people that made There, is a 3D interface for Microsoft MSN Messenger, which effectively turns an IM session into a 3D, visual environment for up to ten people at a time.
IMVU utilises what seems to be an X3D engine, and so inherits many of the old issues with VRML — you have to wait for the whole world to load before you see anything, which can be murder on a slow connection.
IMVU has some great ideas, and the personalised avatars really add that touch of special occasion to chat — slipping into a sexy fl number you recently purchased, certainly spices up a chat session.

Se IMVU, come sembra, vincerà definitivamente la sua scommessa tutto questo sarà possibile, la messaggistica istantanea potrebbe davvero muovere i suoi primi passi in una nuova dimensione, quella 3D.

 IMVU - A Bratz Like 3d World - SecondLife competitor? at ExperienceCurve   (Site not responding. Last check: )
IMVU is a 3d avatar based IM tool that seems could be a competitor to myspace, secondLife etc. With 3 million users it puts SecondLife in the shade somewhat from the standpoint of membership.
One of the things that struck me was how IMVU seemed more like a virtual doll tool (hence the bratz comparison), that users can dress up their avatars (dolls) and put them in certain environments to chat to other avatars (dolls).
There is actually a built in economy in IMVU where a lot of users create items to sell to other avatars, mostly fashion related, so again, the doll metaphor works, dream-house and nurses costume sold separately.

 FrutZle designs - IMVU - news
After having been gone from IMVU for several months for personal reasons, it's become clear to me that I won't be returning anytime in the near future.
With the grim outlook of little to no progress in getting the issues with the Cal3D exporter for Maya fixed in the near future (I've been told it might not be worked on until this summer!), I've decided to remove the PDF documents from the downloads page, as well as the gui1.exe file.
Until IMVU has fixed the products that were submitted using that bug and I'm aware of it, the beanie will not be for sale.
