The Coming Virtual Web

BusinessWeek Online has run a very interesting special report on the fast-becoming popular virtual world Second Life and The Coming Virtual Web.

From this article:
The number of Second Life residents generating more than $5,000 in monthly income has more than quadrupled to 116 in the past year, according to San Francisco's Linden Lab, owner of Second Life.

BusinessWeek.com made a stab at finding out who's raking in the most, and how. Virtual real estate has been the most lucrative industry from the start. The top land baron, Ailin Graef, became the first Second Life millionaire in November. Some Second Lifers are making a mint off consulting fees from the real-world corporations that are entering the virtual world. And there's a rapidly growing industry in designing clothes, accessories, and animation for avatars.
Start living in The New Web.

Btw, I am Lorimer Larsson in Second Life, pleased to meet you.
