Second Life - The future of Social Networking

Published: 9/14/10

Today we live in a world where the average human being cannot go a single day without visiting one of those social networking sites. You know the ones - Facebook, Twitter, MySpace...

These sites all have one thing in common – they are operating on a flat, non-dimensional platform called a website. There's a scroll bar to move the page up, down, and side-to-side, and you can click on what you want and the screen changes to load the page requested.

When you're logged into Facebook, for example, you're logged in with approximately 22 million other people at the same time. That's a lot of people!

What if you could still share information with friends and family, but do it in a 3D simulated world with a virtual self (called an avatar) that represents YOU?

With this avatar, you can take self expression to a whole new level! You can clothe it, shape it to be whatever shape that you want (fat, skinny, tall, short), change the skin color, change the hair style, or you can even have your avatar represent you as an animal, like a lion or wolf. It's totally up to you how you choose to design your avatar.

No more looking at a boring website. Now you see your friends and family represented as their own unique avatar! You can walk up to them and start a text chat or voice chat. You can dance with them, you can attend a concert with them, you can get together and play games like Chess or Clue. You can do all these things and more while logged into a virtual world that they call Second Life.

Second Life (otherwise referred to as SL) is a virtual world created for people to be together in a real time 3D virtual environment. There's grass, a sky, day and night cycles, oceans, continents, roads, trees, mountains, streams, rivers, islands, beaches, volcanoes, etc. This list could go on forever!

Plus, you just don't see the people you know, you can interact with any of the other people logged in with you. Make some new friends if you like or just start a friendly conversation with someone.
