yes, people still use them, and people use them with a graphical interface over them. the Electronic Literature Organization's chat is conducted via linguamoo, which is the one I'm more familiar with. There are certainly many others out there, but I think you have to be in the right circle. We have a MOO in hci at vt http://moosburg.cs.vt.edu/ and one in english and one in the center for applied technologies in the humanities http://www.english.vt.edu/~projects/projects.html i don't have any usage statistics though, which would be nice. I know the CATH one is used primarily only for teaching special class periods, etc. On Sunday, April 20, 2003, at 09:07 AM, radhika gajjala wrote:
I'd be curious to know if and how people are still using text (telnet) based moo's these days...
(anyone remember those? or am I too antiquated a generation of internet users already?;-))
