http://secondlife.com/whatis/

Anyone here into this? I'm just curious as to anyone's experience. What amazes me is real money being made in a virtual environment. Imagine building a huge tall (the tallest) tower in the virtual world and then selling the right to advertise on such tower to a real world company like Yahoo or Google (if they start investing in advertising, that is) or Apple, etc....

Cha-ching?

Virtual land should be bought with virtual money, don't you think?

Yeah, but this will be considered so "2006" in the near future,.....if we ever get there,.....is it even possible to get to the future because there will still be a "future" when you get there?

Anyways, I think there is something here with this virtual craziness. Right now though, throwing real money at it is like - what?

It will be so cool when the average person can go into a virtual world and walk around. It won't be long now!
