Second Life - Geeks unite!

[rongoms]

So, i searched all over the place and couldn't find anything mentioning Second Life.

I've noticed that there is a decided lack of anything approaching style in this little virtual world, so, i've decided to begin a classic revolution.

I guess I'm not a geek. What's Second Life?

I lifted this off the web page,....

What is Second Life?

Second Life is a 3-D virtual world entirely built and owned by its residents. Since opening to the public in 2003, it has grown explosively and today is inhabited by a total of 4,805,716 people from around the globe.

* From the moment you enter the World you'll discover a vast digital continent, teeming with people, entertainment, experiences and opportunity. Once you've explored a bit, perhaps you'll find a perfect parcel of land to build your house or business.

* You'll also be surrounded by the Creations of your fellow residents. Because residents retain the rights to their digital creations, they can buy, sell and trade with other residents.

* The Marketplace currently supports millions of US dollars in monthly transactions. This commerce is handled with the in-world unit-of-trade, the Linden dollar, which can be converted to US dollars at several thriving online Linden Dollar exchanges.
