Chat with us - Live in 3D!

Recently my brother Allan and I discovered a really fun FREE chatroom offered by Google that lets you chat with others in 3D. Today we launched the 3D chat utility on our most recent books website. It is so fun I just had to brag about it here and invite you all to join in.


Joining is simple.

1. Just visit our website at http://www.codebearers.com/ and login with your Codebearer account (if you don't have one - get one, it's FREE)

2. Once you are registered and logged in to our site you can view a members only webpage by clicking on "Beyond the Books > LIVE CHAT!" in the menu. It will take you to this page http://www.codebearers.com/sitemax/tabid/398/Default.aspx

3. Download the Google Lively software as prompted (only takes a few seconds) and follow the instructions on the screen to get started. Anyone with a FREE google account can join in on the fun. Soon you'll be creating your own 3D character and visiting a whole new dimension of the web where you can interact with other people in 3D. I have to warn you - chatting in 3D is contagious. You can even create a 3D room of your own for your own blog or website. But before you leave our site you might as well buy a copy of our book for the heck of it! :-)

Keep in mind, Google's service is still in BETA and you will likely experience some bugs now and then - but its still worth a look. In time I'm sure they'll get this ironed out and add more rooms, furniture and accessories to play with too.
