This is just the Second Life Profile Feed, a kind of social media accessory of Second Life itself. You need to go to secondlife.com and download the actual program and viewer.http://secondlife.com/support/downloads/

"To explore, communicate, and connect in Second Life, you'll need to download our 3D browsing software, or what we call the SL Viewer. It's not only fast and easy to download and install, but it's free and contains no spyware."

There are other viewers, but if you are new to Second Life, then the official Linden Lab viewer is the best way to start.

A better place to ask questions and receive good answers is in the "Answers" section of the Second Life forum.http://community.secondlife.com/t5/Answers/qac-p/Answers

From Wikipedia:

"Second Life is an online virtual world developed by Linden Lab. It was launched on June 23, 2003. A number of free client programs, or Viewers,^[1]^[2] enable Second Life users, called Residents, to interact with each other through avatars. Residents can explore the world (known as the grid), meet other residents, socialize, participate in individual and group activities, and create and trade virtual property and services with one another. Second Life is intended for people aged 16 and over,^[3] and as of 2011 has about one million active users.^[4]"

From me:

"Hi. I appreciate your kind offer of friendship, but I prefer to wait until I've actually met and spoken with someone before adding them to my Friends List. An alternative to "Friending" someone is to "Follow" them. I welcome "Followers." The button for that is on the right next to "Add Friend" on your Feed profile. Best wishes to you in your Second Life adventures! Maybe I will see you inworld one day. Until then... enjoy!"
