 Real facts on this virutal world January 1, 2009
Many people drop out of Second Life because they don't immediately understand "what do I DO there!?"
This book is a great guide to quickly make the experience of Second Life meaningful for YOU.
For example, there are thousands of useful groups for personal and professional use in Second Life. The largest is our foundation's First Opinions Panel with over 12,000 members providing feedback to Fortune 500, media and academic organizations.
Like most things in "real" life, a little planning will go a long way in Second Life.

The book is fine, good condition and all but damn the delivery took nearly 3 weeks, I am used to better service than that. Won't order from this company again.
