GREAT!

This website, WeGame, offers videos about videogames, and you can find some about Second Life: this one is a spoof of CSI episode with Second Life.
You can find other interesting videos on Second Life, such as:
Sculpted_Stream_Construction_Kit_in_Second_Life
Second_Life_building_tutorial
4Chan_in_Second_Life
Do you have any videos to recommend? Do you find them useful?

The phenomenon was going to become a problem, sooner or later: Linden Lab, luckily, decided that ONLY “REAL” BANKS can operate as Banks in Second Life (they say that the recent collapse of Ginko Financial was one of the main reason they started to think about it).
