Second Life is a online "game", as the name suggests you can create a "second life" online and interact with others in real time.
Bruce Willis had a Q&A on Second Life as well recently in connection with the Live Free or Die Hard movie.

dont bother. its retarded! its so boring and confusing on how to do stuff, and the only way you sell stuff is if you make something and i think thats pretty hard to do or something. overall, its not worth it. you wont end up liking it or staying on it for long soo, i recommend you dont try it.

heeeelllsss yeea! that would be amazing and so much fun. but make it better than second life, and have it so we can go fight everyone else and we get points or money for it.

What it all adds up to is a 3d version of Yahoo chat rooms before they got rid or private rooms, but with an economy based on cyber-whoring and gambling.
Second Life is disturbing.

I'm interested in checking out Sector 7, I'm hoping it's the 7 level base that we've seen 5 of the 7 levels to... (and I'd really like to check out the "First 7" pictures, assuming they're there as well...
