We have 3 blogs:

1. The Metaversum blog
2. The Yumondo blog
3. The Twinity blog

Metaversum is a company. As such, Metaversum has all the normal things that a company has – employees, business plans, offices, and products and services. Metaversum has two flagship services, Yumondo and Twinity. The Metaversum blog originally had postings about both Yumondo and Twinity in addition to entries about Metaversum, but that information is now being written separately on the Yumondo blog and the Twinity blog.The Metaversum blog is designed to do the following:

1. Share information about and discuss certain aspects of the growth of Metaversum as a company
2. Discuss aspects of our business that can be publicly discussed
3. Give information about jobs available at Metaversum
4. Share our thoughts about conferences and events that people working here attend
5. Mention some highlights from Yumondo and Twinity
6. If you want to follow the development of Metaversum the company, the events we attend, or are interested in working here or partnering with us, this is the blog for you

Yumondo is an urban stylesharing platform. What this means is that Yumondo is a place for people to exchange tips on the coolest places, events and things that help define their personal style.

To summarize:

• The Metaversum blog is about Metaversum the company. As a corporate blog, naturally, there will be some things that can be discussed publicly, and other topics that are company-internal.
• The Yumondo blog is about the Yumondo community, and making sure that we serve the community well.
• The Twinity blog is all about the Twinity world, everything that it is composed of, and the community of Twinity residents.
