:: First Look - iCity ::

Well, this all started with an article in TheMarker.

It talked about a company which is funded by this guy, Ilan Ben-Dov, who was supposed to invest in Tapuz.co.il and changed his mind. Analysts claim that like most investors he figured out that all this dot-com business is too risky. Who can blame him? And then he went out and invested in a new site called iCity. Of course - I went to check out what the new investors invest in today, now that they don't invest in dot-com companies anymore.

iCity is doing (hold on to your seats) a virtual community, with avatars (graphic representations). Wow. Back in the 90's you had this site called "The Palace". It was such an amazing place. You could chat with other people, using avatars. It was really a big hit. But then people got bored. That site no longer exists.

Now comes iCity, and do the same, only with VRML. So - Instead of using regular chat, you can use the iCity chat which is really slow, has bad navigation, and well - Doesn't learn from history.

Anyone want to vouch for that million dollar investment?
