Social media users have more or less hidden behind avatars and screen names since the bulletin board days IMVU simply takes it to new levels. A Google image search will let you peep through IMVU's portal, if you're curious. There's a lot to do and to learn, including a whole subculture. It also features a badge system, which lets you collect badges and display them on your avatars profile snapshot. But, like a lot of things, you have to experience IMVU to understand it. IMVU is a 3-D chat application that lets you set an avatar for your friends to see. We had no problems whatsoever with IMVU's interface or with the people we met. We're not going to bore you or amuse you with our personal exploits, except to say we're all noobs once. There's also a security question to make sure you're not a machine. To create a screen name and password, you'll have to provide some info, such as date of birth and a valid email address. The avatars are all young, attractive, and a bit edgy, but in different (and good) ways. There are nine each of male and female avatars to choose from, and you can choose from either set on IMVU, you can't judge anyone or take anything for granted, and you have to interact with people to learn about them. Signing up for IMVU is easy and starts with choosing a free avatar.

Launched in 2004, Instant Messaging Virtual Universe is simple in concept: Combine the social networking power of IM chat with a 3D virtual "universe." Participants create elaborate new identities, called avatars, that give free rein to self-expression.
