I had had the chance to do some investigations on how to create a second life similar application that run on the web, and allows people to communicate, chat, and interact in different ways.
The applications of such tools can be virtual meeting rooms, small virtual world for people to share or discuss some cause or idea. there is also the fun part where people can interact as in a game, purchase items, go to virtual malls, etc.
Here is some links to the wikis of tools that can create virtual worlds:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croquet_project
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Wonderland
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GForge

I hope those would be useful for any one interested in virtual world applications, Have any urls to add to those, please let me know .
