*What's
the difference between Chat and MOO?
Answer: Chat conversations are usually restricted to dialogue, rather
like a telephone call, whereas MOO interactions allow users to connect
in more elaborate and individualistic ways. In both chat and MOOs
you can have multiple identities if you wish, but in chat you only
have a voice whereas in MOOs you also have a body, a home, and an
entire lifestyle. As might be expected, MOOs are more complex to
learn than chat. Each has its place, depending on the kind of interaction
you're looking for.
If you'd
like to suggest a topic for discussion at one of the weekly meetings,
please let us know.
