Second Life, Ad Nauseum

I’ve been hearing, ad nauseum,

about Second Life. Everyone and their brother is involved: flying

about, chatting with folks, even answering reference questions at the

library. I really didn’t get the appeal, but decided I should give it a

I do miss seeing "real" people on a daily basis! One of my job perks is the ability to get out to our member libraries and visit, but I'm afraid I don't do that as much as I'd like to. Something always seems to preempt the visits....but when I do get out, it's great.
