...going public. 3DVIA is still a test bed, but it already has more than 15,000 users, and its customer base doubled between March and April thanks to "word of mouth and viral" means, Wilson says. Even bigger growth could be ahead, since 3DVIA recently linked up with Facebook, where users can now make a 3D mashup.

Through a project called OpenSocial, Google has been working to fight back against Facebook's closed network while mimicking, on the wide-open Web, Facebook's core advantages - Facebook is a place where a user not only defines his or her set of friends, but the applications he or she wants to use.
