In no particular order:

http://dmoz.org/Computers/Virtual_Reality/Multi-User_Systems/ (big list o' stuff, apologies if I've relisted any of it here)
http://www.blaxxun.com/
http://worldforge.org/
http://www.multiverse.net/
http://www.nevrax.org/
http://www.realmcrafter.com/
http://www.realmforge.com/
http://www.kaneva.com/overview/KEPEditor.aspx?ttCat=create&subtab=myg
http://www.quest3d.com/
http://www.anark.com/
http://gmod.garry.tv/
http://solipsis.netofpeers.net/

And something I like that's kinda vaguely related:

http://www.theprodukkt.com/werkkzeug1.html

I haven't listed any of the myriad of 2D worlds (excluding solipsis - special case) because, really, who cares?

Oh, and I'm totally with the Snow Crash idea - it's not the software that matters but the protocols. Do we have one web browser?
