 Second Life the 3D virtual world which generated 
                  significant press interest in 2006, is now well 
                  established.  Billed as creating a revolution in the 
                  political and financial world,  companies from Reuters to 
                  Microsoft, Nissan to Mercedes have set up shop, keen to make 
                  sure they don't miss out on this new virtual economy - but is 
                  Second Life a serious business opportunity or merely escapism 
                  ?
