second life

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_life
this wikipedia link will take you to a page that talks about second life
second life is an online world where people interact socialy and buy and sell things
the website is known to make around half a billion dollars a year
the second life worlds economy is growing at around 10-15% a month
there are people who have given up there full time jobs to work exclusivly in second life as designers who build and sell things to the residents of second life or as estate agents etc.
the website second life has been spoofed by another website called get a first life.
http://www.getafirstlife.com/
there are those who worry about whether second life should be allowed as it is a completely unregulated world where people can trade child pornography and other illegal materials.
it is impossible to police a world like second life as there are so many people and none of them can rearly be punished
