TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
A MUD is kind of like a text adventure game (did you ever play Zork?),
but with multiple players simultaneously, so you can interact both with
the dungeon (and its critters) and the other players.
A MOO is just like a MUD, except that it is extensible: the players themselves
can create additional parts of the dungeon, or add new objects/creatures
to existing parts.
This is off-the-cuff, so if anyone has a better definition, please post it.
Take care,
