Stylehive’s Virtual Showroom in Second Life I recently found an entirely new way to interact with a website. Last week one of our clients at Ideacodes launched a virtual showroom in Second Life. When you visit Stylehive's virtual showroom you can see objects that users of the Stylehive website have bookmarked at the website. These objects such as furniture have been rendered in a 3-D format which you can interact with in the virtual space. You can even sit on a sofa or chair and then click on it which will launch your browser, and take you to the users bookmark page of that particular object. Very interactive and very fun.

The Stylehive - Web 2.0 and AJAX Powered Collaborative Shopping Community I have to caveat this post by saying my company, Ideacodes, which includes myself and Emily Chang (eHub) produced all of the front-end interaction design for this site. That said, I would like to point out one of my favorite UI features in Stylehive. The bookmarklet is easy to use and full featured. As with most social bookmarking sites the url and title of the page are pulled in. The difference in the Stylehive bookmarklet is the image feature and the depth of information you can add to your bookmark in the "Tag Suggestion" panel. Give it a try!
