Abstract
A co-user list may be configured based on user interaction in a virtual world environment. A first user may be enabled to navigate the virtual world environment using an instant messenger application that includes the co-user list. A second user that is located proximate to the first user in the virtual world environment may be detected. An attribute associated with the second user may be determined. The co-user list may be configured based on the attribute associated with the second user.
