Spending In Second Life
The content within the renowned virtual world of Second Life is all designed and created from start to finish by the users of the platform, usually referred to as ‘residents.’ However, this alone is not what sets Second Life apart from other virtual worlds. One of the biggest draws is in fact its booming and successful economy. Even as the real world struggled against a recession that reaches all corners of the globe, the residents of Second Life kept spending. 2009 saw the Second Life economy reach 567 million US dollars.
