Earning virtual currency?

Virtual currency sounds plain confusing - it's bad enough having to convert Pounds to Euros and back when you go abroad, let alone converting from Peds to Lindens when you cross virtual borders. You can earn these different type of virtual credits in what's known as a 'metaverse'. I'm ready to declare myself a dribbling, gibbering wreck. Things are getting far too complicated for me.

What's a metaverse, then? Apparently it's "a portal for everyone who visits virtual worlds". In them you can "particiate in games, surveys, tasks, and contests and earn virtual world currency". This virtual currency can then be converted into other currencies in other virtual worlds, like Lindens in Second Life, or Peds in Entropia.

metaRL is offering free imvu credits if your virtual pockets are feeling empty, so it may be worth a visit if you're more Lint than Linden, or if you currently find yourself Ped-dyless. If you don't fancy the idea of getting involved in their community, or dislike surveys, you can even earn the meta-dough by fiddling with your myspace page.
