To me it's useful/entertaining in the ways forums and chats are, plus some additional features on top of that. Eg, you can talk to people, but in addition to that you have a collaborative 3D environment with positional audio where you can script, make games or do other stuff.
Recently a group using our project put up a Christmas Carol VR play, and the results were most impressive.

Well, I see no significant benefit here over a simple list.
Not saying that there is none but I am not convinced to do anything with it until I see some actual use for it (and FB is not involved in any way whatsoever).

I don't think I understand?

FB is not involved in any way whatsoever in our project. It's not a new idea really. Second Life is close to two decades old at this point, and there's a long tradition of repurposing existing systems/games to other ends.
And so worthwhile that supporting some company would be good use of time and money?
