It is closely related to There in that one of its elements is socialization, but the similarity stops there. The brain child of Philip Rosedale, the users, known as residents, are given tools to create the world, of which over 99% is resident-created. With a built in 3d creator, the users can create objects from prims or primitives. Also, by using digital editing software (such as Adobe Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro) to create textures. These textures can be used to create clothing, wallpapers, or other looks on the faces of the prims. Objects can also be scripted or programmed using the LSL (Linden Scripting Language based on C and Java) which allows objects to interact with the world.
side note: many residents of Second Life have offered that it is a birthing point for The Metaverse or at the very least, 'not a game'.
