No sooner does Disney announce it's plans for a pre-pubescent MySpace, than Nickelodeon creates a virtual universe for adolescent avatars. The ad-supported Nicktropolis launches tomorrow:
Children will be able to create their own personalized 3D rooms on the site, which launches on Tuesday, and move through Nicktropolis by taking on a self-designed 3D avatar similar to those on popular virtual world Second Life.
The site will feature gaming, online video, popular Nickelodeon brands and other elements to help children interact with each other or Nickelodeon characters in real time.
Now we're NEVER gonna get the kids off the couch...!
