                2018 WW: PEOPLE: Cybalounge adds another social feature

                Cybalounge adds another social feature
                Cybalounge has a growing number of rooms (or worlds).  We can't see into those rooms, so we need a way to find out who is around when we come in.  Dieter, the Cybalounge developer, has added that information to the pushpin.
                The panel of the pushpin
                • The new panel has a social tab showing who is online and where they are.  
                • Click the enter button to visit them in that place.
