Second Life - a virtual world on the Web where participants create an avatar and can participate in activities, build relationships, and run businesses
Avatars - These can have two meanings. One refers to the graphic image of a computer user and the other is a reference to a profile of an ideal client. That one is also referred to as a brand persona.
