Is it Possible to Sum Up the Answer to the Question: What's So Special About Second Life?

I was recently asked, for the umpteenth time, "What's so special about Second Life®?" The answer to that question usually leads to a long, open-ended answer that generally includes collaborative qualities, amazing interactive experiences and long list of characters we call friends. Millions of people not only 'get it' but deeply love using Second Life. The fact is, Second Life is many things to many people. It is a social outlet, it is an interactive substitute for television, it is musical and theatrical entertainment, it is a fantasy world, it is a business opportunity, it is a 'place' to meet, it is a place to create, it is what you want it to be. My answer to the question, 'What's so special about Second Life' usually generates wide-eyed expressions followed by babble. In my three plus years of using Second Life, I have yet to come up with a succinct answer to the common question that would explain it well enough to the average and above average person. If anyone out there has suggestions, please share them. I wish I had it in time for the last time I was asked the question. It was for PBS.
