These virtual worlds, such as Second Life and World of Warcraft, provide new resources and approaches for research in political science, sociology, and economics. ***

Technology Review (MIT), July/August 2007: Current issue Second Earth, by Wade Roush The World Wide Web will soon be absorbed into the World Wide Sim: an environment combining elements of Second Life and Google Earth. ***
