Linden Labs releases May 2007 Key Metrics for Second Life and here's what I see:
- Total Hours spend in Second Life doubled between January 2007 and May 2007! (Jan=10,817,668 May=20,767,557)
- Mainland Land use has doubled in the last 7 months (Oct 31,2006 = 83.97 while on 5/31/07 = 160.06). Island Growth tripled to from 134.28 to 491.32 in the same period!
- Money being spent in world has grown 2.5 times since November 2006 - from 1,161,573,009 Linden to 2,831,517,265.
- Population has more than doubled since January 2007 to 6,860,473 registered Avatars to 4,370,810 individuals.
- Germany now leads France as the second most active country based on Avatar count.
- Woman are beginning to get more interested but Second Life is still dominated by men with 57% - but it's not as far part (Woman have 43%) so maybe it will get to be equal down the line.
