Avatars and Second Life

I think avatars are fun to create. Especially when you can make your virtual self do or wear crazy things that you would never try. I suspect that in general, most people have avatars that do not look anything like them. That's the fun of creating a virtual representation--it can be anything you want! Then again, I'm much happier having my avatar appear on our Teen Page than my actual picture! :-)

I watched the videos of second life and I don't really have any desire to explore that world. I tend to be a lurker on online forums and other websites so I can't see myself diving into second life. I do think it's cool that so many people have found a second home there and have made friends all over the world.
