Once again, I have to say Second Life. SL is a huge online world - the next step in online interaction - where you create an avatar who 'lives' in the SL world. And it really is a place where people from all over the world come and meet and socialise. There are now over 5,620,000 residents in Second Life with around 30,000 online at any one time. It's also totally free to join (more on that later).





The best way to describe it is as a giant version of The Sims, but everyone you encounter is played by a real person. Say you want to meet people from Holland. You do a search in 'Groups' or 'Places' and you use the keyword 'Dutch'. That will lead you to lots of people and places in SL where Dutch people congregate. Say you are interested in blues music. Enter 'Blues' as your keyword and you will find groups and places where people listen to blues - including online live blues performers. In fact - ANY interest you have in rl, you will find a group in SL that shares that interest. If for some reason you don't, you can form a group that caters for that interest.





Now here's the great part. When you make a friend in SL, you can meet up with them there. Like you, they have an avatar and some look very lifelike. You can explore places together; go shopping together; go dancing together (real-world DJs/musicians stream music into SL); go to a park and cuddle (or more); even move in together and get married if that takes your fancy.





As you learn more about the world you can begin building things - such as furniture, houses, bridges - even clothes, hair, shoes and skins. And you can sell these things for in-game money (which can be converted back to real-world money). You don't have to do any of this - it's just some of the endless possiblities.





The European media (especially the tabloids) seem to focus on the sex aspects of SL. Unfortunately, this has led to a huge influx of young guys looking for sex and they can be a pain sometimes. However, they are finding that although there is a lot of sex in SL, to get it, they need to invest some money in their avatar's appearance to get anyone to take them seriously and they also need to have a personality to actually start a conversation with a girl. After three or four months of this heavy influx, it seems the 'free sex' myth is starting to die a death and the majority of people coming in are more sensible.





As for making friends - all I can say is that some of the friends I have made in SL are better friends than those I had before SL. Some I have met up with in real life - others I chat to live on Yahoo or Skype. At least one person I know met the love of her life there and they now meet regularly and plan to marry in real life too.





Best of all, it's not only free to download the client software, but free to play as well. There is a Premium option, but my advice is - don't enter your credit card details until you have tried SL for a few days and are sure it's for you. After that, enter your card details. You still don't have to pay anything subscription-wise, but this does allow you to purchase in-world currency. As the purchase of in-world dollars is linked to the US dollar, buying in Pounds Sterling is a very good deal for us Brits right now. 4000 SL dollars will cost around £5 at the moment. To make your avatar look incredibly good (best skin, hair, clothes, shoes and walk) expect to spend around £20-£30. You never need to spend that - there are enough freebies to make your avatar look reasonably good. After that, it's just finding friends there and going and having a good time.
Reply:If you like yahoo!answers, there is another site similar to it that pays you a little to post. It isn't going to pay your rent, but you can make about $30 a month on it if you post and respond for an hour or two each day. It's fun, like yahoo!answers, and there are lots of forums. Plus, you get to design a profile sort of like myspace. You get paid for quality posts, adding pictures, and referrals. Check it out:
