vSide is a 3D virtual world where you can listen to music, chat with friends, shop at the mall for clothing and accessories, or just hang out with mates at in your apartment. Sounds a lot like real life, which begs the question: why would you need to do this in a virtual way?
Because it's fun!
You'll expand your musical tastes and broaden your networking horizons as people from all over the world mingle and chat in an informal atmosphere. The software is all pretty intuitive, with menus and clickies to perform actions like dancing and lounging on the sofa. There are some very funny dances if you scroll through the options, and the people I met in the clubs and bars have all been pretty friendly and cool.
This is basically just a glorified chat room, with a definite lean towards people who like music. Watch out for the live DJ and music events staged in the world, where you can party on down all night without running the risk of getting blisters from too much dancing. Lovely.
