Ed Baig gave SL a great review in USA Today.
"I found the graphically stunning online worlds of There and Second Life escapist fun and surprisingly addictive. Hours flew by on the nights I participated."
"You get to meet people doing various activities in Second Life as well, but the environment strikes me as a bit more creative, competitive and challenging. That also means it's harder to learn and break into"

Virtual economies. The money in Second Life is called Linden Dollars. Players get a weekly stipend that rises when they earn high marks (on their appearance, building skills, etc.) from other members. Participants also can bring in extra money by running contests, leading tours or building in-world attractions and then charging admission. I managed to make a few Linden dollars playing Jeopardy. _____________________

Cool Pituca!
 Baig - "There claims about a 60% to 40% male/female ratio, with an age range skewed between 29 and 49; Second Life is 70% male, with most members between 25 and 44." I donno, most times I feel on the other end of this ratio...ok, when i'm using a male AV. But then again I can't complain. _____________________
