Second Life is an online virtual world created and built by its residents. The international community features a huge assortment of diverse lands and people, vibrant entertainment and opportunity, and a new world of experiences. An avatar, or virtual alter ego, is created by each participant and then whisked to a beginner island which explains, teaches, and nurtures the new Second Life user. Beyond the first island lays a plethora of lands, as unique as the real world. From entrepreneurs to educators to artists, everyone can find a group of friends who share similar interests and ideology.
