I'm not sure how new this is (the history of the Wikipedia article suggests it's pretty new), but Clickable Culture points to a beta release of IMVU, a 3D instant-messaging client. At first glance, I'm not sure whether this is a useful new tool, an unnecessary addition to IM or just a very limited version of immersive worlds like Second Life and There - what do you think? (Incidentally, IMVU was developed by Will Harvey, the creator of There.com.) From the Wikipedia article on IMVU:

IMVU is a graphical instant messaging client that features animated interactive 3D avatars.Registered members receive their own homepage, the code of which is built in similar fashion to typical Myspace homepages. According to Tony Walsh of Clickable Culture, the software for the IMVU standalone client 'seems to operate as a layer on top of existing IM applications, such as MSN, and uses small browser windows for much of its interface.' IMVU also has a credits-currency system which is partially based upon physical, real-world money; such serves as the basis for the economy which financially drives the IMVU project, which is currently in beta. First-time users are given 1000 credits (play-money) to buy additional content. More credits can be purchased for real-world money.
Is it Web 2.0? No idea - but it's in Beta and that's good enough for me! I'm not sure whether I really want to add this to my growing lineup of IM clients (Meebo is my saviour!), but we'll see. The idea of an economy within an IM client is very intriguing. Throw in some revenue-sharing and user-generated content and you might be on to something.
(Sorry Mac and Linux peeps - it's Windows only for now.)
