What do you want to do in the world?
Second Life Grid
Teen Grid
OpenSim Grid
Blue Mars Online
Second Life - Easy, low learning curve, available, easy to get Griefed, Content not secure, Have to be 18, Objects lack realism
SL Teen Grid - Is like Second Life, Only teens and approved adults, Has all problems of SL, Rules are so restrictive that often it won't work for youth projects
OpenSim - Is like SL, Can be run on your servers, Age is decided by local owner, Public Grids, No security, Griefing is easier, Many SL features missing, Never Ending Beta
Blue Mars - Build with 3D modeling tools, Better Details, allows teens, high security, locally cached, more agents, building takes extra knowledge, is still in development, local caching requires updates
Most building is done in Sketchup from Google then imported out to Blue Mars programs and finally to the online dities.
