## Content

Quick introWelcome all to the very first edition of Metaversive, where I’ll be sharing the latest developments, news, reports, analyses & tweetstorms coming out from the fast evolving WEB 3.0 space. I have chosen Mirror as the platform of choice, as it aligns with the thesis of a decentralized future with the power shifting towards the users and content creators. Mirror is a publishing platform, similar to Medium or Substack, but empowers creators with tools to not just create content, but truly own that content & connect with their audiences in ways never before possible. If you’d like to know more, check out this link here👇 & visit mirror.xyz to discover the other amazing cool features. https://bloggingguide.com/guides/mirror/#:~:text=xyz%20is%20a%20unique%20publishing,than%20through%20typical%20cash%20transactions.Now to what you all signed up forThis genesis edition brings us some examples of how a few global well known brands & companies are initiating their first steps to the “Metaverse” or WEB 3.0 , a sneak peak into Apples’ fusion of augmented & virtual reality, some examples of the “digital twins” concept & a couple of pieces on blockchain & decentralized digital identities. There is a bonus piece at the end from 2005 on digital property which very much relates to the reality we are living & the challenges facing virtual worlds and platforms today.
