Second Life language learning

Forgot to mention about Second Life language learning ;)

First of all, I'd like to mention that Second Life is an online virtual world, developed and owned by the San Francisco-based firm Linden Lab. It was launched on June 23, 2003.

Second Life users create virtual representations of themselves and are able to interact with places, objects and other users. They can explore the "world", meet other residents, socialize, participate in both individual and group activities, build, create, shop, and trade virtual property and services with one another.

It's used by universites to create an educational platform, especially who studies only online. It helps students to communicate with each other and, of course, with the lecturer. It's pretty useful for practicing your speaking skills as you can sit and talk with someone using your microphone. It seems to be like Sims but with educational purposes ;)

Actually, I find the graphics really strange, so I'm sure that I will never use it. But if you decide to try it, let me know :) Want to know more personal experience of someone.
