I agree with RyanH in that a 3d version of the web wont work. But I don't think it sounds like that's what their trying to do.

I have no idea what their really offering though. Sounds like a developer framework for flash, really. And dont believe the hype, you will not be playing anything like world of warcraft inside your flash player for a long long time.

NOT a hoax!

Cool idea, but what the hell kind of a name for a company is "Nextreme"? Reminds me of the Internextperts that showed up BBTV a while back.

Holy shit. This feels like someone broke in to my home and redecorated my apartment - changed the shabby old cabin into a classy lounge.

I mean, it's great, but doesn't quite feel like home yet.
