Step 1: Read an article in any major print publication or online equivalent which marvels at the "virtual community" of Second Life.

Step 2: Realize you can join for free (never mind you can't own land or even ditch the gimpy newb walk without spending money).

Step 3: Log in. Rush through the intro tutorial so fast you don't know where your inventory is, or how to maneuver your camera.

Step 4: You do, however, figure out how to use "Find". Type in "sex". Go to one of the new free-sex builds or an escort club.

Free advertising is always good.

Definately good.

WetIkon Franimation Overrider L$0 + hundreds, maybe thousands, of free animations and poses out there = Free ditch of the gimpy newb walk.

*sigh* Human nature here. Can't stop it.

Human nature again.. But remember it's the few that can make a large impact on SL.

The majority of new users will find SL neat and mgiht stick around.
A smaller portion will come here for sexxorz.
An even smaller portion will love SL and prosper.
And an even smaller portion will find SL to be a place for their ideas to be realized.

It's this final and smallest portion that are the shapers of SL's future. But you can't find gold without panning out a LOT of dirt.

The front page number is wildly inaccurate with respect to actual user accounts.

200,00 will be reached on Friday - latest. As this number is NOT updated continuously, we might see the 2 in the first digit on Saturday here in Europe, Tina! With the Business Week cover and SL being slashdotted, Friday seems more plausible though.

Monthly growth rate for residents is in the area of 15% currently, growth rate for concurrent residents present in SL is at 12% per month. If this continues we will be more than half a million residents in December - with peak numbers of 20,000 concurrent users. We might experience slower growth rates in summer, though. :)

We will hit 200,000 on Friday (officially, internally probably earlier).

An alt? :rolleyes:
It's a myth, that a substantial amount of those residents are all alts; a popular myth but still just ... a myth.

Most of those 200,000 won't become longtime residents, admitted. They are checking out SL and will realize after a few hours, days or weeks, that it's not for them. There is not much reason for this type of resident to get an alt.

Still, the hard core of SL is growing, too. At more than 10% a month. And that is quite a growth rate! :)
