Layered virtual world Weblin is ceasing operations, according to a company newsletter sent to registered users today. Media reports attribute the closure to a lack of funds. Weblin users are being invited to transition Club Cooee, a site run by the former Weblin principals Jan Andresen and Christine Stumpf.
It will be interesting to see what happens to the “layered” or “browser overlay” sort of VW space. Weblin seemed like the most visible example of it. Club Cooee is more like an IM client with avatars, I think, than where Weblin was going.
