An article fron Popular Science mag about the basics of SL (overview)

Public Sticky notes

Like the computer game The Sims, Second Life is software that enables you to guide your avatar through a 3-D landscape, chat with other avatars, and build objects with tools. But SL, as it’s known to its 300,000 members, or “residents,” isn’t a game. It’s more like an animated version of real life. There’s no way to win and no specific objective.

The banking giant Wells Fargo built its own branded island inside SL, designed to train young people to be financially responsible. Wal-Mart, American Express and Intel are looking at using SL for their corporate training.

With its natural interactivity and open platform for creation, Second Life, or some­-
thing like it, may very well be the next generation of the Web.
