If you are not familiar with Second Life™ it is “the Internet’s largest user-created, 3D virtual world community.” Now, I have to admit I don’t know too much about this virtual world. But it seems like getting started is nothing more then making your own avatar and then entering the world and meeting folks. There is also, apparently, a business side to this as well. You can buy and sell products, land and provide virtual services to folks. They have their own “Second Life”currency which translates into “real” currency via a conversion rate.
The video below is a brief introduction if you are not familiar:
Now that you know what Second Life™ is, you will not be surprised to know that there is a great number of Second Life Wavers out there.
Aisha Gala started the SecondLife Wave, which is a place to meet wavers who also use Second Life™. This then lead to another bunch of Second Life™ Waves which are listed below:
But the really big news is that the folks that met in Google Wave are going to get together in Second Life™, see all the info for the Dec 19th event:
