What is Web 2.0? -    user driven web -    less about technology -    no technological barrier – thing of the past -    web 3.0 prospect

‘avatars are’ internet ‘users’ representation of himself’

Preference to type, rather than voice in SL

Very global

Virtual self – virtual as compensation for real life
