On the 20th (or is it the 23rd) of next month, SL will celebrate its 2nd anniversary of going live.

well it has been around for a while but it depends on what you mean, the idea or SL itself:
Philip Rosedale - Founder & CEO
Philip Rosedale has an extensive background in the development and pioneering of streaming technology, having built his first computer in 4th grade, and started his first computer software company while still in high school. In 1995 he developed FreeVue, a low-bitrate video conferencing system for Internet-connected PC's, resulting in the acquisition of his company in early 1996 by RealNetworks. For 3 1/2 years, Rosedale served at RealNetworks as Vice President and CTO, where he was responsible for the development and launch of RealVideo, RealSystem 5.0, and RealSystem G2. In 1999 Rosedale returned to San Francisco, joined Accel Partners as an Entrepreneur-in-Residence, and began the basic research that would become the technology behind Linden Lab. Rosedale holds a BS degree in Physics from the University of California at San Diego.
Look up philip linden and look at his start date for a good idea of SL's birth.

The first Resident of Second Life is Steller Sunshine. Her birthday is March 13, 2002. She is still around and has a lot of great stories to share, so sometimes if you hang out around Welsh, you may catch her at her beanstalk!
A warm welcome to SL, Rowan -- may you have many delightful adventures.
