Second Life is an unique medium to have business representation. It breaks physical barriers of businesses. For a person who is not familiar with a virtual environment, it is very challenging to move around and get involved in a community. It can be very time consuming. For someone who knows the exact business he or she is looking for, it is very easy to do a search and get large amount of information including 3D images. I enjoyed my overall experience and would like to explore more.
