Second Life Second Life is an online virtual world, developed and owned by the San Francisco-based firm Linden Lab and launched on June 23, 2003. By 2013, "Second Life" had approximately 1 million regular users. In many ways, "Second Life" is similar to massively multiplayer online role-playing games; however, Linden Lab is emphatic that their creation is not a game: "There is no manufactured conflict, no set objective".
Rick Gates Rick Gates (born October 18, 1956) is an Internet pioneer mostly known because he organised The Internet Hunt and raised the ideas of Interpedia. He studied at the Graduate Library School at the University of Arizona. In 1992 he started the monthly competition "The Internet Hunt" where questions had to be answered exclusively using sources on the Internet. Utilities of investigation were Usenet, FTP, Gopher and Telnet (NCSA Mosaic, the first popular Web browser was first published in April 1993). When the World Wide Web became more popular, the competition was closed in October 1994.
