	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.

	IMVU - The next step in chat? \| Beyond Caffeine
		imvu is not that good at all.if you really want to do a truly 3d chat client then what you want is second life, it allows you to make everything the way you want it.
		It costs money to develop, and when IMVU gives out promo credits, it is like giving people coupons that the developers pay out of their own pockets, but have nothing to do with handing them out.
		IMVU has an Access Pass for members of the community who are of the age 18 and older.

	IMVU - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		IMVU is a graphical instant messaging client (3D chat) currently in beta stage with more than 3 million users.
		The primary focus of IMVU is the ability to use personalized 3D avatars and environments that let the user interact with the person they’re chatting with.
		Most IMVU developers strive to become a ProDev because they are then not required to pay submission fees (in credits) to submit their items to the IMVU catalogue, and their virtual items are featured first in the catalogue listings.

	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.
		Prima dell'installazione, IMVU chiede di definire il profilo del proprio avatar: l'aspetto (adolescente/adulto, uomo/donna), il colore della pelle, dei capelli e gli abiti.
		IMVU ha invece creato la sua valuta virtuale, l'avatar dollaro (AV$) al tasso di cambio di 10.000 AV$ per 10,82 dollari reali, e serviranno per acquistare dei plus in grado di abbellire le conversazioni: luoghi e personaggi innanzitutto.

	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.

	VWN World Review: IMVU - PFV
		As such, IMVU is a fairly commercial environment, but it does add a lot of functionality to a very popular IM client, allowing participants to see each other through their idealised appearance.
		At the time of writing, IMVU are working on multiple-avatar gestures, so you can interact bodily with your friends.
		IMVU is a very social worldlet, it is designed for pure socialisation, and small gatherings.

	Raph’s Website » SDForum: friends and strangers
		Will Harvey of IMVU just showed some stats showing that a clear majority of people use IMVU to meet people as either a primary goal or as a goal equivalent to chatting with existing friends.
		IMVU’s homepage, client, etc, are all very ‘cheery’ chatty and geared towards a strongly social and interactive experience.
		People intrigued by IMVU may be less net savvy, so they may be more willing to meet new people.

	Protein® Feed - I Want My IMVU (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Sounds like you need to get some IMVU in your life and engage with some fully featured 3D chat avatar action.
		Apart some supaclever backend technology, I think the most interesting aspect of IMVU is the huge community powering a myriad of body, clothing, fashion and location options.
		Not one for meeting people online [prefer the pub], but my brief IMVU experience involved a "laaady" from Trinidad [at least I think she was a "laaady"] and a rather pleasant "interaction" on beach somewhere in the ether.
