Second Life is a world of almost 2 million people where your three dimensional character can meet and chat with other people characters. Second Life has an internal currency, the Linden dollar (L$). L$ can be used to buy, sell, rent or trade land or goods and services with other users. Every person in Second Life gets a stipends or weekly salary of a few hundred Linden dollars . according to the Second Life Web site any resident can make money in second life through different ways, Linden dollars can be converted into US dollars at around 260 to 1.That means that 1 Linden dollar is worth about a half cent in real money. In addition to the stipends, you can work for someone or start your own business to earn Linden dollars or you can buy them at online currency exchanges with real dollars. This feature of Linden dollars and US dollars being interchangeable makes it possible to turn your virtual income into real income.
Thousands of residents in second life are making part or all of their real life income from their Second Life Businesses “Artists visit virtual Second Life for real-world cash”.
I think Second Life is not finished yet, and i believe that it is a preview of the Internet of the future.
