I installed it awhile back after seeing it on BBC Breakfast. Its like a big virtual world. I installed the client and had a wonder about, nothing amazing from what I saw. As usual, want the good stuff....you have to pay!

Read this off the website!

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 1,221,392 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 currency, the Linden dollar, which can be converted to US dollars at several thriving online currency exchanges.

Shame you can fist her, or fuck her, or buy some skag off her. Its just like talking to someone via MSN tbh, apart from you have a shite looking sprite in front of you!
