Have any of you web-mongers here used it?

What do you think of the future of web-based social interaction?

Your avatar exists in a "virtual world" wear you walk, talk, meet, dance with, drink with, go shopping with other avatars...

like a cross between playing a video game & a web forum.

{this is related to a project i'm working on - it's a serious question}

Sounds cool, I would use it :thumbup:

Re: SecondLife
 

It already exists - I'm surprised that so few people over here have heard of it....

Re: SecondLife
 

Oh my god I just logged in..over 9 million residents and over 1 million on line....might get lost in the crowd :(

Re: SecondLife
 

Just checked it out.. seems its been going for 4 years

Re: SecondLife
 

I guess we are not Teckno Freaks then ???

Re: SecondLife
 

and it looks too time consuming for me..

Re: SecondLife
 

Nah, once you find a few clubs & stuff that you like, you join up and get on mailing lists for events etc, start meeting the same people again & again.

I know people who have "second spouses" in second life, others have been married & gotten divorced & had to split their virtual assets... very wierd. At least you can't have virtual kids...

Looks a lot like the DS games that my niece plays and is totally addicted to...so I think I will stay away ....just in case

Re: SecondLife
 

Too true - I used it for about a week almost a year ago & found it took up a lot of time.

I'm interested in what the "25+" age group think about it because a company I'm working with has just signed a deal with Linden Labs (the people that designed & run 2nd life)

Re: SecondLife
 

(25+) ...how much of a + ???...might be disqualified

Re: SecondLife
 

Really? I was assured that all of the ladies on BE were 29... ;)
