What is Worldgroup?
Worldgroup is "hot stuff" software!
Imagine an America Online or a CompuServe on the Worldwide Web
- well, we've GOT it!
1USA's Online Service, named 1USA Virtual City, was functional in December 1995.
The WorldgroupClient/Server software allows interactivity with other people who are on 1USA at the same time you
are.
The implementation, with it's full-blown underlying accounting system, is known as a Virtual
Private Network {VPN}.
Worldgroup software runs on Windows operating systems.
The Worldgroup Client/Server software has:
- a chat module that has the ability to draw pictures that the others view as you draw,
- the capability to send pages (short one-line questions) to others,
- Newsgroups (message databases),
- File Libraries,
- Multi-Player Games
- and many other features.
While most web-based software puts you in an environment where you're alone, Worldgroup software allows you to
be part of a community!
