Second Life… creating an online alter ego!

I don’t know if any of your have heard of SecondLife.com?

Second Life is a 3D virtual site where you can emulate another existence in Cyberspace. It is actually built and owned by real residents. So far there are 1,653,270 people from around the world that inhabit this site.

You start by creating an Avatar — or alter ego; then you proceed to explore the new world you are now going to inhabit.

In this “new world” you will experience a whole new life where you will meet people, buy property, explore new business opportunities, go shopping for clothes (believe it or not it is second life’s hottest industry) and many other adventure you can create for yourself with your new friends. You can become a virtual Walter Mitty — the fictional character that always daydreamed about being someone else. Only in this case, you can learn valuable life skills and gain insight through interaction with others.

So go an take a browse http://www.secondlife.com. You can try it out for free for a trial period. Have fun!
