I remember when brands started opening shops in secondlife. I was thinking to buy some land. But after a few hours looking around i had enough of it. Saw my secondlife account is still working.

The Second Life real-estate bubble is holding just fine, thanks

Last year, as the physical economy withered, Second Life's economy blossomed, with user-to-user transactions topping $567 million in actual U.S. currency, a 65 percent jump over 2008. About 770,000 unique users made repeat visits to Second Life in December, and the users, known as residents, cashed out $55 million of their Second Life earnings last year, transferring that money to PayPal accounts.

Ray Williams, who lives near Richmond, is a Second Life land baron. In 2006, on his lunch break as a computer technician at Circuit City, Williams stumbled on a CNN.com news item about an avatar named Anshe Chung, Second Life's first physical-world millionaire. Chung, whose real name is Ailin Graef, is a former schoolteacher who became known as the Rockefeller of Second Life by buying and selling land.
