Believe it or not, the virtual economy of Second Life, a popular online computer game that lets users create a new reality for themselves, doubled in size last year. Users spent more than a billion dollars on virtual goods over the last year, compared to $360 million for the year before.
Second Life's economy is now larger than the economies of nations such as East Timor, Samoa and Dijibouti.
