2nd life is the time killer, it is rediculously similar to real life in a sense, you can find Latino Museum, Taj Mahal in black and white versions, fashion desingers and trends like Harajuku and retro funky, 2nd life colleges, global conference, government agencies, business conference, real estate firms, models, news publishers, Puma store, clinic, bar........ People (avatars) can own virtual properties (which cost real life money), meet other residents and participate in many social events. Personally I think this is a real time killer which has very limited extension to real life, there are only 2 reasons that I would visit: 1. To see how nice the graphics are, how real it is. 2. For educational purposes such as training sessions.
This one is much more pratical and beneficial:
Virtual College Fair
It's a virtual arena for parents and students to shop for collge, a 2day real time event. Real coellge admission officers, gudiance counselors, finanial aid experts will be sitting in front of their computeres and help students with any college-related problems. Its looks like a convention center, booths are populated with their logos on the banners, you can "walk" around the lobby, stop by, download boscheres, apply for scholarships, interactive features: real time chat with advisors and current students, go to the main conference room(looks like a lecture hall) and watch the videos, prfessional interviews and onsultants presentations. This is a VERY NICE idea, because it safe parents and students time and traveling cost, they can reach more better choices easier and cheaper. How awesome!
