IMVU offers a website that lets you configure a 3-D avatar, play online games, purchase virtual goods and browse the member directory. To chat with other members, you can download the IMVU software that lets you interact with other 3-D avatars using voice and text chat in public and VIP chat rooms. You can invite others IMVU members to the chat by using their avatar names or by selecting contacts from your friends list.
