Second Life is like a virtual reality world where you can go and interact with others. It has everything that the regular world has, including an economy. If you want you can sign up, buy some "linden dollars" and open a night club. You pay a programer to build the club for you or you can build it yourself. You pay them linden $$ and that money can be converted to real money. Apparently there are a lot of programmers making a killing by building real estate and other stuff for people. At the club you open you can host bands and charge a cover. Its a regular business, but it takes place in a 3D internet world. Its really crazy, but I've heard like about it like 7 or 8 times in the last week, and all from mainstream sources. People are making millions building VR crap.

I signed up just to see, and I thought that it sucked. But appartently there are a lot of people who spend all day and night there. And there is a lot of money to be made. I listened to an interview with the CEO of Linden Labs (the creators), and he said that there are a lot of big corporations taking an interest and setting up shop. For instance, Reuters has a correspondent working FULL TIME only on Second Life news, and Reuters 'publishes' the Second Life news paper. Amazing.
