Our Kickstarter was funded! Continue supporting the Virtual Worlds Museum™ through our Sponsor Page.
Worlds.com, or Worlds Chat is an online chat program launched by Worlds Inc in April 1995. Worlds.com was the first program made available for the general public to download from Worlds Inc's website for free.The WorldsPlayer client then came along in 1998.
Worlds.com was one of the earliest 3D social worlds to attract mainstream attention, hosting celebrity‑themed environments and branded virtual spaces. It influenced the commercialization of virtual worlds and the integration of pop culture into immersive environments. Worlds.com helped establish the template for avatar‑based fan communities. Its early experiments with branded spaces foreshadowed modern metaverse marketing.
