Second Life is a 3-D virtual world entirely built and owned by
its residents. Since opening to the public in 2003, it has grown
explosively and today is inhabited by a total of 6,240,591
people from around the globe.
From the moment you enter
the
World you'll discover a vast digital continent, teeming
with people, entertainment, experiences and opportunity.
Once you've explored a bit, perhaps you'll find a perfect
parcel of land to build your house or business.
You'll also be surrounded by
the
Creations of your fellow residents. Because residents
retain the rights to their digital creations, they can buy,
sell and trade with other residents.
The Marketplace currently supports millions of US
dollars in monthly transactions. This commerce is handled
with the in-world unit-of-trade, the Linden dollar, which
can be converted to US dollars at several thriving online
Linden Dollar exchanges.
Welcome
to
Second
Life.
We
look
forward
to
seeing
you
in-world.
"The spread of evil is the symptom
of a vacuum. whenever evil wins, it is only by default:
by the moral failure of those who evade the fact that
there can be no compromise on basic principles."
Ayn Rand
