Second Life is not all about money...

I started this quest with a financial plan. Camp... bank... interests... million...

After few month, I must admit that I got caught by the social aspect of Second Life. My list of friends is quite long, and not only of people who added me because of this blog. Some people I met here helped me in my quest, I helped some others with their goals, and just shared thoughts with some.

As in real life, meeting key people and building a good network is important. I will not make a list here, but knowing all these persons definetly made a difference in my results, and motivation.

May be this blog will change a bit now, and I will enlarge its scope to something like "how to be successful in Second Life"... stay tuned !

Second Life vs. Real Life - 10 Questions for the weekend

Before leaving for a three days week-end (lucky me !), I wanted to post some questions for you ! They might seem slightly off topic at first sight, but they somehow relate to Second Life economics...

1) Do you behave the same in Second Life and real life, or do you feel different in SL ?

2) What is your avatar ? A copy of you ? Your ideal view of yourself ? A puppy ? A fantasy ?

3) Do you have control over the quantity of time you spend in Second Life ?

4) Do you consider Linden Dollars as real money ?

5) Is there something equivalent to camping in your real life ?

6) Do you consider what you say in Second Life as binding as what you say in real life ?

7) Can Second Life be a viable source of income ?

8) Is Second Life different from any other internet based chat ?

9) What if Linden Lab decided to shut Second Life down tomorrow ?

10) Do you have true friends in Second Life ?

I will give you my own answers in a later post, and I'm really interested in yours. Feel free to answer one, several or all of these questions in your comments...
