See those clocks at the top of the fountain? They're Flash widgets, just like the clocks that everyone seems to embed into their personal start pages.
COO Rob Frasca tells me that Kaneva 3D world members will ultimately have hundreds of different Flash widgets to choose from when pimping out their virtual apartments (which are equal parts hang out space and three-dimensional social network profile page.)
He also confirmed that some of these widgets will make it possible for users to bring in social media directly from other sharing sites -- most notably YouTube videos (I asked Rob about YouTube specifically), but I would imagine that over time we will see widgets that allow users to import things like photos, animations, games, feeds and audio, all from existing third party social media platforms.
No word on timing or range of options that will be available, but given Kaneva's emphasis on sharing photos and videos within the virtual world, letting users pull in content from third party social media services (not just from the Kaneva 2D social network) could make this metaverse really cool for lots of avid social media fiends.
