For those who haven't yet come across it, Avatars United is a beta-launch website to unite avatars, in a Facebook stylée without any 'first life' obligations. It allows users to submit blogs, link up, share photos and start up communities... like the EDF!
Yup, we have a presence there, as does the RCAF. It's likely to be quite similar to this Ning forum in what it can do, and so I wouldn't expect much to actually happen, but it remains a badge to be worn with pride. Y'know, if you want to.
EDF volunteers who also live or work in Extropia itself may avail of our A.U. community for the nation, too.
