Second Life was launched by Linden Lab on June 23, 2003. From the start it offered full three-dimensional representation, data streaming, and a three dimensional modeling tool that allows any resident to build virtual [[Object]]s, including landscapes and buildings. A system of object ownership and virtual currency has led to a flourishing virtual economy, and has stimulated creative development of sellable consumer objects such as [[Clothes]], furniture and vehicles. | Second Life was launched by Linden Lab on June 23, 2003.
