METAbolt is ideal if:

• the SL viewer is not allowed at your work place, like majority of work places mainly due to bandwidth usage and the strain it puts on the company network. Plus you should be working not playing ;). However most work places allow "messenger" type applications that enable you to remain in communication with your friends etc so from that point of view METAbolt is ideal for you to remain connected to SL while at work
• you have a low powered computer that has difficulty running the SL viewer you can use that computer to run several instances of METAbolt without any problems at all
• you have a low speed internet connection e.g. dial up or T1 etc
• you need to run multiple alts at the same time
• you need to run alts/bots to carry out security, group management etc functions
• you can't or don't want to run the SL viewer all the time but need the ability to stay online for communications or other reasons. METAbolt is the perfect tool which offers not only communications but many other functions (described below)

...and many more

METAbolt is under active development which means more and more features are & will be added in every new release.

One of the most important aspects of METAbolt, unlike any other, is that it brings together all its users to form a community that share information, news and support and help each other via the tools provided not only in the application itself but also this web site. We encourage users of different languages to set-up their own groups in their own laguages. Both METAforum and METAwiki can be used for this purpose.

The login page (main) of METAbolt provides a wide range of information and statistics so that you are always up to date with whatever is going on.

Future realness of METAbolt will include (optional 1) fully automated land, security and group management plugins. METAbolt will also have plugin interfaces so that everyone can easily develop and provide add-on applications that will give METAbolt extra functionality.

METAbolt is free and it belongs to the public...it belongs to you.
