Stories about your Second Life

Counting the real 'Second Life' population
Last month, the virtual world Second Life reached 2 million registered accounts, an impressive number considering it hit 1 million accounts just eight weeks earlier. C|Net News.com

We can just see it now: the scantily clad women, flying chipmunks and robots roaming around the House of Representatives, debating health care policy and energy independence. http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com

Why Second Life Numbers DO Matter

Over at Valleywag, where sanctimony can sometimes reign, a professor named Clay Shirky has been getting some attention for criticizing how Linden Lab reports the numbers for its fast-growing Second Life virtual world.

His contempt is aimed at articles in various publications and websites, including a column I wrote in November at Fortune.com. http://money.cnn.com/blogs/
