Taking A Stab At Second Life

Are you involved in Social Net­work­ing? There are lots of places, but Sec­ond Life is new to me.

I’ve been read­ing a great deal about Sec­ond Life so I decided to give it a try myself. It took me a fair amount of time to cre­ate my avatar to a point that I thought it might look a lit­tle like me. I then started walk­ing around the vir­tual 3D world. You use the arrow keys to move, and as in real life you can walk off a cliff :)

Sec­ond Life gives you a chance to meet peo­ple, text chat (they say voice is com­ing). There are stores, beaches, golf courses, bars, ski areas, high-rise office build­ings, etc., all cre­ated by users.

The talk is that Sec­ond Life could become a place to sell prod­ucts, ser­vices, and con­duct classes — a whole new and dif­fer­ent social network.

One thing I can see grow­ing in this com­mu­nity is adver­tis­ing dol­lars. With a com­mu­nity of almost 3 mil­lion that equals a lot of peo­ple view­ing your ad.
