Review: “Second Life” - The manual
Friday, May 25th, 2007
For some it is just a game, for others the future of the Internet. You go shopping, meet new people, big corps open subsidiaries, politicians hold press conferences, there is sex and even more sex - and everyone wants to be a part of all that. Just like it was the real world.
Christian Stöcker, editor at Germany’s news authority Spiegel Online, joined in and explored the fascinating 3-D world:
He indulged with his avatar “Sponto” in cyber-acquaintances, virtual real-estate shopping and many other exciting adventures. On his journey, he put together a very useful 101: How to move from A to B? Where do I find what? How can I design my SL-world? Is it worth it? And where does it get dirty or even dangerous?
In SL every inhabitant reinvents himself according to his own wishes and lives a life he has ever dreamed of - without rules or boundaries. You want to fly? An oceanside villa with jacuzzi? Casual sex avery day? Or lead your own megacorp? No problemo in virtual wonderland. Second Life offers a fresh restart for everyone.

And what’s your shortcut or nickname for SecondLife?
