Anyone Ventured into Second Life?
I had a client call me and ask me if I have heard anything about Second Life. Second Life? I have enough going on in my first life (lol)! He asked me if I would take a look at it. I did! I created an avatar, met people on this live interactive 3-d world, however I was blown out of the water to find out that you can purchase property on this game with what is known as Linden Dollars ( you have to buy the fake money with your real money). You can also sell/ buy clothes, shoes, hair, (yes, hair!) and on and on.. I gave it a go and met some interesting people that never seemed to leave the game. There was recently an article on the internet and it said someone is committing real estate fraud on second life! Fraud in Virtual Space! Do you have a Second Life account?

Hey Kandra,
I tried out Second Life about 6 months ago but was stymied a lot about what to do. I didn’t give it much of a chance because I didn’t really think I needed one more reason to sit at my computer for hours on end! LOL
Cheers,
Pam

Kandra,
I actually saw a news story about this on 20/20 or 60 Minutes. It reminded my of Sims City… which I never had time to get into either. I’m on the computer enough for business and communicating with distant family…I’d rather not spend my spare time (if I ever have any) on the computer. Like you said, there’s enough going on in this 1st life!
