YoVille: Facebook's Virtual Community

What is YoVille? YoVille is the coolest virtual world on Facebook and Myspace. It's an online community where you create a character that lives in a home and does things like shop for clothing and go to parties. Most people get an invitation to join the application, and then create a character that represents them. Then your character starts off in a house. You then can accept a tutorial to help you learn how to play but the best way to learn Yoville is to "explore."

In the tutorial it shows you most of the features of Yoville. The first think the tutorial shows is how to go from room to room. Then it shows you how to edit a room. You can move furniture, add furniture and make other home improvements. To purchase new furniture and clothing you need money but you can work for it. It also teaches you how to interact with other players and use the chat system.

The tutorial doesn't show all the neat features of the virtual world. You can also add friends and view their homes. You have the ability to walk around and see each room, pretty mush visit your friends. You also work jobs to earn coins to make home improvements and to buy new clothing.

On Yoville there has been so much as living room contest for people from all over the world to compete in. This game is like the classic PC game The Sims, it is just free. You can do different character animated emotes and ways interact with other players as well. When you interact with other players you can also receive coins.

You are interacting with other people so you have to be careful. Do not give out personal information including passwords, home addresses and phone numbers, and other personal information. The other players on Yoville can send you a friend request on Facebook or Myspace if they want to know more about you. Don't be afraid to try it though it's a good experience and a way to practice your lifestyle. You have a home, have a job, and money just like in real life.
