SECOND LIFE

Second Life (SL) is a virtual world developed by Linden Lab that launched on June 23, 2003 and is accessible via the Internet. A free program called the Second Life Viewer enables its "residents" to interact with each other through avatars. Residents can explore, meet other residents, socialize, participate in individual and group activities, and create and trade virtual property and services with one another, or travel throughout the world (which residents refer to as "the grid"). This topic tracks the latest news as this virtual world continues to develop.

Second Life is part of Business Exchange, suggested by Brad Reason (Doubledown Tandino). This topic contains 216 news and 505 blog items. Read updated news, blogs, and resources about Second Life. Find user-submitted articles and reactions on Second Life from like-minded professionals.
