Second Life

Second Life is a cartoonish, but otherwise realistic virtual reality game featuring avatars that interact with each other in a variety of virtual environments.
Launched by Phillip Rosedale and Linden Labs in 2003, it is an internet accessed application that requires a substantial download to use. It has had as many as 88,200 avatars in residence at any one time.
While it is obviously a very popular site, I don't have any interest in it except as a cultural phenomena. I feel that once I have applied my available energies to my own life, that I have little time for such games.
