I'd say we're definitely NOT trying to be in the social media space ourselves, unlike what IMVU is doing - we would much rather partner with those sites. The only reason to add community and simple profiles was to give Meez users a way to see what other users were wearing, and to give users a basic feature set if they didn't have a social media relationship.
So, what ever happened to IMStar, and their company, Bandalong? I believe they were first to market in the avatar space, focused primarily on integrating with AOL's instant messaging platform.
They were funded by Baker Capital in February 2005, amount undisclosed, and according to both their non-working imstar.com web site and this wikipedia postt, were shut down in July 2006 due to "funding issues."
I guess "funding issues" is the latest euphemism for "had an exhorbitant burn rate due to a really large, expensive management team." It's a shame really...IMStar sounded like a great idea, and Bandalong had announced an "integration" deal with AOL in November 2005, but the story seems to have a common 1.0 ending...
I think one of the key differences with web 2.0 is that entrepreneurs (a lot of them, anyway) have learned from the heady bubble days of 99-00 that it is so important to keep your burn rates low, your management teams small, and your egos in check.

Any of these players integrating with Second Life - for example, enable you to import your second life character. Stardoll might want to look into this as well.
