Virtual Communities...

In class we've been learning about virtual communities..before this all I knew was bebo,facebook,myspace etc.,just some social networking sites. But now I learned of lots of different virtual communities for brands and shops,and sites like second life. I hadn't heard of second life before class..but then the other day I read about this woman who was divorcing her husband after she discovered his character in the online community had been having an affair. The couple actually had a virtual wedding along with their real wedding. However, his wife came into the room one day to see that her husbands virtual character was "cuddling" another woman. She demanded to see the chat history but he deleted it and she has now filed for divorce. Although he has never done anything in real life she is furious about his online cheating. Not weird at all!!
