I'm going to have to check these out when I get home. I admit, as severely cool as the idea behind it is, I've never been able to really get into Second Life, mostly because all I ever seem to be able to find are empty stores and porn. I'm sure there are fun and interesting things to do and see and people to meet, I just wish I knew where to find them. This is extremely cool.
