Open source software alternatives and their resulting support communitiesabound from image editors such as the GIMP, music and sound in modeling in PureData, 3D CGI content generation in Blender, and game engine type platforms such as Unity and openSim. Pioneering systems of virtual interaction such as Active Worlds paved the way for Second Life which integrated user generated content, a user-friendly web 2 interface, and social networking on a a grand MMORPG scale.These integrated modes of social interaction be they in secondLife Sims or open source software support wikis not only allow discourse to flourish but provide a platform to install tactile albeit virtual artifacts.
