Hi,

I have this feeling that in the near future the powers that be are going
to regulate second life. Now that is good to get the bad guys out but I
think second life might have the potential to become a little bit more:
a place where people can interact more life-like than ever be possible
using e-mail.
There are, though, a few problems with it (=2nd life) that I think might
be solved using freenet.
- the second life concept in its current incarnation is managed by
  Linden labs. if they decide something should get out (see the
  gambling) or someone is bad, it is/you are gone. I think the
  distributed nature of freenet (if I understand the freenet concept
  correctly that is) can solve this
- others then you can monitor/filter your chats, your movements, etc
- others can find out where you physically are by your ip-address
  that way you never can totally decouple yourself from your virtual
  identity
-

There have been a number of proposals for fully distributed virtual worlds. I 
suggest you implement one. :) It wouldn't be Freenet - it's a different 
problem domain, it does radically different things - but it could be 
interesting. I don't have time to fish out the reference right now, but there 
was a paper about it a while ago.
