Virtual dollars trading for U.S. currency

Linden Research's online role-playing environment "Second Life" is developing a life of its own, offline. Linden Labs CEO Phillip Rosedale points to a community of people who have started businesses making and selling goods and services specifically for this virtual-reality world.
