Spending In Second Life
Second Life is a virtual world in which every single item and location is designed and created by its users, commonly referred to as ‘residents.’ However, what sets it aside from many other virtual worlds is the fact that it has a booming economy. Even in the face of recession, residents continued to spend Linden dollars in world, purchasing anything from virtual services, to pixel furnishings and virtual clothes for their ‘avatars.’ 2009 saw the economy total 567 million US dollars.
