-image-What is SecondLife?
Second Life is a 3-D virtual world entirely built and owned by its you and its other residents! Since opening to the public in 2003, it has grown explosively and today is inhabited by 386,280 people from around the globe. Forget simple profile pages, chat rooms on the other static websites — Second Life is a fully interactive visual world with sight, sound and the ability to make yourself whoever you want to be. And it’s easy — and (dare I say?) addictive — to do.
Aspiring musicians, business owners, politicians, writers, filmmakers, and media types: Second Life can not only PLAY your music, but you can stage virtual concerts in streaming audio, sell your songs … even open up a storefront or record company building, conduct real-world media interviews!
Such artists as Duran Duran and rapper Chamillionnaire, media organizations such as Reuters and countless other aspiring entrepreneurs are already checking out — and developing — what SecondLife can do for them.
- From the moment you enter the World you’ll discover a vast digital continent, teeming with people, entertainment, experiences and opportunity. Once you’ve explored a bit, perhaps you’ll find a perfect parcel of land to build your house or business.
- You’ll also be surrounded by the Creations of your fellow residents. Because residents retain the rights to their digital creations, they can buy, sell and trade with other residents.
- The Marketplace currently supports millions of US dollars in monthly transactions. This commerce is handled with the in-world currency, the Linden dollar, which can be converted to US dollars at several thriving online currency exchanges.
