Shopping in Second Life

This is actually quite interesting, I'm actually reading a fiction book where people can walk through virtual malls and shop just like in real life. Now we've got it here, except in second life. Although personally, it would have to be a hell of a sale to get me to set foot in second life.


Users of the 3-D Internet world Second Life are virtually engaging in an increasing number of real-world activities -- from holding business meetings to buying toys.

Now the Vancouver company Global Condo Center hopes some of Second Life's more than 10 million citizens will be willing to shop for the real-life real estate of its clients at the so-called "island" it has commissioned within the environment.
