Second Life

Second Life is an online virtual world that was launched in 2003. The online world has it's own commerce system and monetary exchange system. There are communities based on common interests and to be a part of the community, avitars (online representatives of the user) are expected to follow the community rules. Role play seems to be a large allure for users of Second Life and real life communities, such as churches and universities have set up virtual locations on the website.
