Welcome to Betterverse.org, a chronicle of the evolving and innovative efforts to use virtual worlds to promote various real world causes and improve the lives of people all around the globe. I have been wanting to start this site for a long time, after having witnessed for several years the growth of the "public good" sector in virtual worlds.
I recently developed a capacity building program for nonprofits interested in virtual worlds for Global Kids, which spurred me to finally launch this side project.
I may be porting over several older posts from my personal blog Rikomatic.com over the next weeks to start the conversation. If you or your organization would like your event, sim, or cause reported on, please contact me at rik@betterverse.org.
