Second Life is a 3-D virtual world entirely created by its residents
It consists of several digital continents (and numerous islands), teeming with people, entertainment, experiences and opportunity
Residents retain the rights to their digital creations; they can buy, sell and trade with other residents
The Marketplace currently supports millions of US dollars in monthly transactions. This commerce is handled with the in-world unit-of-trade, the Linden dollar, which can be converted to US dollars at several thriving online Linden Dollar exchanges
