This New York Times story by Shira Boss about the economy of Second Life is a fascinating read. Banks collapsing, avatars with 250 pairs of shoes, people pounding the pavement in search of a better job for their virtual self, real estate moguls, McMansions built with pixels. Second Life has it all.

If you spend time on Second Life, I’d love to hear about how you spend your Linden dollars. And why you think we’re driven to replicate our consumer society in a virtual world.
