Second Life
Is anyone of the readers here into Second Life?
I don't think I'd have the time and want to spent time and money in it, but I truly believe these kind of things will become more and more part of our lives.
Just like internet created a new sort of economy and business, Second Life will do the same, turning the flat environment of the internet into a 3 dimensional thing.
BBC recently acquired an island in Second Life (knowing this costs them about 1500 dollars minimum + monthly costs of 200 euro minimum). So apparently indeed a 'second' world is coming to life, with people living and making money over there (and selling good in real life)
Strange world...

I started playing something similar in 2000: Asheron's Call (http://ac.turbine.com/).
Made quite some money buying and selling virtual goods for real dollars.
