I love the explanation this author wrote about Second Life in his article about Cisco Systems, "Second Life is a tool for holding three-dimensional visual conversations. Just as WebEx allows you to share PowerPoints over the Internet, Second Life allows you to build something you can look at from all angles, with multiple people who can discuss the object in realtime."

Well, here we go with the Numbers! I hate to say that the naysayers are losing ground in my mind about the second life active members debate!

37545 NEW members in 24 hours. I am told I am wrong and if you count the correct 24 hours it is a record day of over 40,000 new members. So for all the naysayers that say it is only 10% of the numbers posted, that is still 4000 NEW members in a Day!!! Wow that is 120,000 in a month, or 1,440,000 in a year!!! And that is if the 10% is accurate, what if it is 20%!!!
