The other week I was doing a run-down of the social networking services out there for another project, and managed to convince a friend to send me an invitation to Whirled, the mini-game, kids'-oriented new virtual space from Puzzle Pirates creators Three Rings. And what a hoot is is. At the time, it seemed empty, with a small population of invitees, but there was still plenty to explore, from the 3D spaces (Whirleds) to the vast library of mini-games.
Now, everyone can go into Whirled. They've opened up their free beta service, to see how many new user-generated minigames and Whirled people can create before the service launches for real.
Come on in and ping me - I'm GeorgeBailey (exploring beyond Bedford Falls 'cause he couldn't), and maybe I can kick your butt at Dictionary Attack sometime.
