Second Life, the online 3-D virtual world where you can develop your own real estate and design your own clothing, hit one million registered residents today. About 40 percent have actually logged on in the last two months, more than 10,000 are on at any given time, and the equivalent of $455,000 changed hands in just the past 24 hours.
This thing just keeps getting bigger, especially as people get more the more powerful computers needed to even log on. In fact, I think that's the main thing holding it back. Windows Vista will be good for Second Life.
