[RC] Endurance Riding on Second Life? - Beverley H. Kane, MDHas anyone checked out Second Life, and if so, have you bought property there? http://secondlife.com/ Second life is a virtual world with real money transactions and is supported by Wells Fargo, Reuters, and a soon-to-be named Fortune 10 company. (Not Microsoft.) One of the vendors, Electric Sheep, sells rather nice horses http://www.slboutique.com/index.php (Click on landscaping and animals--Search on "horse") While my feeling is I have enough to do in the physical world, horse-related SL commerce is an excellent opportunity for a non-horsey, high-tech spouse, e.g., mine. We are throwing around some ideas... One idea is to hold endurance rides. Might be good advertisement for the real thing. Some facts about second life - over 1 million members - membership is free or premium - real $US spent per day: $half million - one person alone has made 100s of 1,000s of real US $$ selling land (there is also the native currency, Linden Dollars, w/ a conversion factor.) - right now there seem to be NO horses on the land masses If anyone is interested in horse-related activities on SL, e.g. endurance rides or buying an island for horse rescue w/ RL (real life) contributions to RW (real world) organizations, please PM me--esp if you have a high-tech spouse or friend from the 3-D animation or gaming industry. We bought some starter property, are considering buying a small island.
