Second Life

You may or may not know about secondlife.com, the fast growing 3D social community on the Neb. If not, check it out, because it's a glimpse of where the internet is going. A little wormhole in the current mesh of things that can transport you instantly into Web 3.0. Second Life is virtual reality come to fruition. It even has its whole own economy with its own currency and genuine floating exchange rate to the world's major currencies. Large retailers are increasingly buying up virtual billboard space in Second Life's virtual malls and virtual golf courses. There is such a thriving job market in second life that more and more people earn their entire "real world" income from their jobs in virtual land.

I've been toying with the idea of taking out a Second Life citizenship for many months now. But I've always been scared that my virtual life demands would put even more pressure on my endangered spare time. But today, I have found an even newer, bigger, better second-life type site check it out here , and I am CONVINCED. This is the way to go!

  1. The idea is fascinating. I'd join in if I weren't so fragmented.

  12. I really couldn't do a "Second Life." I'd be manic before the week's out. But a first life, oh yeah, I'm in!! Bwahahahahahahahaha....

  13. As z0tl would say, “People get a fuck’n life”

    Personally, I haven’t even clicked on the link. I am having enough trouble dealing with this “current life” without adventuring into a fantasy world.


    The online gaming community suck young people in like a vacuum with the tantalising glimpse of fantasy adventure. Days and days young people spend waiting their lives away. In the Far East it is MAJOR problem. Some young men have died from continually playing until their eyes drop out their dead heads.



    You know what, for once I with z0tl on this one, “People get a FUCK’n LIFE”


    Use the time you have in the real world wisely and constructively. Make a DIFFERENCE in your own life and others.

    Here endeth the sermon.

  14. Dude, you really should click the link. I too didn't want to go there the first time, for similar reasons, but I went when BPG said "we've joined." It's just a joke. :)
