Ok, so everyone reading this right now needs to stop and go to Second Life and sign up for a FREE lifetime account in the metaverse, a 3d incarnation of the internet. It is, quite simply, the most amazing computer program ever developed. It defies all genre classifications. It's a game, a design tool, a chat tool, and so much more.
They don't spam you, they keep all your info private, they don't harrass you into upgrading to the optional premium account (which isn't really necessary to experience 99.999% of the content), and it really is free for life. All you need is a broadband connection, and you can download the ~25MB client installation file from the site. So go sign up, try it out for a few days, and if you don't like it, you never have to go back or pay any fees or anything, so there's really nothing to lose by giving it a try.
SL had its public launch about 2 years ago, but the population has been growing exponentially in recent months. Since I joined in late July, the population has more than doubled, to over 50,000 users. All the content in the world is created by the users, so you can create literally anything you can imagine. Send an IM to Zab Gould in world if you need help, or leave a message here or at one of my IM names listed under my contact info here.
