Recommendations
Indeed the success of virtual world owes part of its credit to successful pay-per-click. Not the website design and definitely not the domain name, if it was not for webhosting growth and the advent of dsl, we would still have been in the dark ages of the web.

thanx for the news .
We have a friend in L.A. now , I will ask him to "report"
That's great Alain. In LA there are 2 major events, the SIGGRAPH and the Web3d Symposium.
The Symposium Of Virtual And Augmented Reality of Brazil is also a very great event, related to VRML and X3D, that I will try to follow closer in the future.
All these symposiums tend to have place in different places through the world each year.
