In 1995, before there was any talk of social media, Tony Rockliff created Cybertown, a child-safe on-line social networking community of people from 155 countries interacting in a Metaverse 3D Virtual Reality off-world town set about 100 years in the future.
Cybertown grew to 1.3 million members, was receiving 1.5 billion hits a year and was in the top 2500 sites in the world in terms of traffic at the point when Tony sold it to new owners. Between 1995 and 2002, there was hardly a month that went by when Cybertown wasn’t featured on a TV show or in a magazine somewhere in the world. Many members have credited Cybertown with creating major positive changes in their lives.
It also attracted partnerships with USA Networks Sci-fi Channel, Sony Interactive, Intel, Hallmark Entertainment, SETI, Centropolis Entertainment (producers of “Independence Day”, “Godzilla” and “The Patriot” movies), Warner Brothers, Star Trek and others and was growing at a rate of 400% per annum at its peak, when he sold it.
Tony has been the featured speaker on the dynamics of Internet social community building, SEO and many other aspects of Internet marketing at conferences across the world. Most recently Tony has been producing album projects for local artists in Florida and mixing and mastering for artists around the country.
He also teaches entrepreneurs and musicians, via seminars and consulting, how to use the Internet to take charge of their careers. You can see Internet marketing for musicians testimonials here. He also specializes in revitalizing artists.
And for the past 25 years he has also been shooting and editing videos, building websites, and he has several live streaming green screen studios. He also produces the David Pomeranz SongSessions video podcast series where David interviews legendary songwriters.
Coming full circle from Cybertown 27 years ago, Tony is once again creating new content for the Metaverse. Here's what he predicted back then. Tony is also an AI consultant.
