A quick idea I had which I wanted to toss into the open...

A little while back I read this Wired article about the (Snow Crash-like) Second Life virtual world, and its active virtual economy:

Re-read your post about Second Life, and now have spent about an hour trying to get the "free" account. They use either your credit card or cell phone number for identification, so they can keep people from getting more than one free account, and since I don't have a cell phone I'm putting in my pre-paid MC number, and their site doesn't like it. I actually took time out to call their tech support who said that I needed to call my card people, so I did, and my card people say there's no reason it should not work. The SL tech support guy didn't seem like he really knew what he was talking about, and was all "uh" and "um," like that. But now it's too late, and I am OBSESSED WITH GETTING ON THERE and seeing what it's like! So, thanks a lot for giving me something else to kill brain cells with! haha, not your fault, I know. I'll try again, maybe tomorrow night?

I got on SL at my daughter's house. Wow, what a time drain! We spent an hour just getting the avatar's "look" right! But it was really fun!

Really didn't do much else on there yet. Will let you know if I do.
