Second Life is a virtual world I recently heard about. I’m very curious about it, as it seems people are really getting into it as a place to hang out, despite it being entirely on their computer screens. Now it appears that there are ways to make profit in this virtual world, as this CNET article suggests. Additionally, according to the showcase part of the Second Life website, “Suzanne Vega will become the first major recording artist to perform live in Second Life avatar form”. That’s cool. Extremely geeky, yet cool.
On a side note – looks like Alpha World, the virtual world I played around with about 10 years ago, still exists.
