My Second Life Experiment
I’ve been trying out Second Life after reading about it on different blogs and Wikipedia. It’s very interesting indeed, and I can see why it’s become the latest internet phenomenon. Basically, it’s a virtual universe where you can interact with people, explore places, buy property and generally, well, live a second life. Second Life has gotten so popular now that it’s even got a full-scale backlash - Get A First Life encourages people to turn off their computers and get outside to experience the real world.
Anyway, I’ll be trialling Second Life over the next few weeks, and will keep you updated on the adventures of Daithi Malick (they didn’t have Mahon in the list of surnames I could use). In the meantime, here’s a screenshot of a meeting I had with someone in the Blarney Stone pub in Dublin:

Second Life is now being accused of being a pyramid scheme: http://digg.com/gaming_news/Second_Life_s_supposed_economy_is_a_pyramid_scheme

Good luck with that Dave! Hope it doesn’t suck you in like it has so many of us!

I’m a bit sceptical about this. you’re not going to start marketing to second-lifers, are you?
