Personally, I file Second Life in the same place as I do The Crazy Frog.
Somewhere, there are hoards of people consuming this, millions of
dollars changing hands, and people becoming rich. But for some reason I
can see no evidence of that around me. 

I just have to accept I may not be as in touch with things as I think I
am.
