Top Japanese University Opens In Second Life!
Waseda University in Tokyo has opened a “virtual campus” in Second Life, a virtual reality game you can play (and make money playing) on the Internet. Waseda University plans to use their virtual campus to “meet” students from Princeton University, USA, which also has a campus set up in Second Life.
Second Life, created by Linden Studios, is set in a virtual world where players interact using avatars. You can go shopping, play games and buy gear that has been designed by others.
You can also offer your own virtual goods and services and offer them for sale in Second Life.
This is where it gets interesting for the Internet marketer.
Since goods and services can be bought and sold, Second Life has a virtual currency called Linden Dollars, which can be exchanged for real dollars, so it is perfectly feasible for people to get paid to play Second Life online!
In fact, in November 2006 the first real-dollar Second Life millionaire was reported in Business Week. Check this link and scroll down.
It certainly beats commuting to work every day!
