I've been reading about it on MSNBC.com over the past year (?) or so. They have everything there, bands have concerts and people sell virtual clothes. I also read about it because the "Virtual" capmaign headquarters for John Edwards for vandalized, as ridiculous as that is.

I don't get it though. No amount of reading about it in the news makes me understand the point of paying for something like that....
