SmallWorlds
''SmallWorlds'' is a virtual world by Outsmart Games, a privately owned company based in Auckland, New Zealand.〔(Crunchbase Web Directory )〕〔(Outsmart Website )〕 The virtual world runs inside a web browser and integrates with YouTube, Flickr, SoundCloud, and a number of other Web 2.0 services. SmallWorlds is aimed at the teen markets, and is designed to be more casual than ''Second Life''.〔(TechCrunch, May 21 2008 )〕
SmallWorlds entered Beta in June 2008 after 18 months in development, and was released on 1 December 2008. Several software updates have been released since that time.〔(SmallWorlds Media Resources )〕
In October 2009, SmallWorlds was voted top prize in the Social Computing category of the Adobe MAX Awards 2009.〔(Adobe Max Awards 2009 Finalists: Social Computing ) 〕〔(Reuters: 2009 Adobe MAX Awards Winners Announced. Wed Oct 7, 2009 )〕〔(Dreamweaver Extensions Blog. October 12, 2009 ) 〕
==Partnerships and integration with social media==
In February 2009, SmallWorlds launched embeddable versions of its application that integrate with Facebook, MySpace, Hi5 and Bebo. SmallWorlds does not affiliate with any of these companies, besides Facebook. Smallworlds effectively forces its players to use Facebook if they want to partake in any of the sales or contests. Smallworlds regularly runs discounts on it's items in world at the expense of the player advertising for them on Facebook. Such activities are questionable and unethical. Smallworlds still allows the option to log in using the site. They allowed SmallWorlds users to enter SmallWorlds using their social networking applications and link their social networking profiles to their SmallWorlds account.〔(SmallWorlds Turns Facebook Into a Virtual World.
