Webbr believes it has developed a social network that gives us a glimpse of this visual future. Instead of just viewing lists of user names or websites, you can see images of users and how they are all connected visually as in this image.
In this new visual paradigm, you can now see not only how others members are connected but also how they connect to other things such as groups, clubs, interests, schools, and other elements. It's refreshing new way to look at things, literally.
Real-time communication is the focal point of the service. Members can chat live and see updates to the visual map of interconnected users and groups in real-time - there's no refreshing or browser updating. There's also a built-in email client that manages all messages for members.
The entire site was developed on a flash platform which bodes well for Webbr's plans to release a public API so members can actually develop flash applications that can be shared with other members on the service. There are a couple of sample Webbr flash games available today just to show you what it will be like. Another feature to check out is the web visualizer (seen above) that displays how everyone and everything is connected and the live Chat app as well as a couple of games such as Ballr and Blockr.
The service is in Beta so it still looks and feels a little sparse and raw. There aren't a great deal of applications available yet, but obviously that might change once the API is released and members can start building and sharing apps. As for the graphical aspects of the site, the Web Visualizer loads quickly and allows you to navigate quickly from one member to another as well as from one group to another. It certainly is a different way of socializing online.
