SL hits 2 million accounts
We noticed at 2:31pm PST/SLT today that SL hit 2 million accounts. Given SL only hit 1 million accounts back on October 18th this is quite an achievement. Earlier this week respected netizen Clay Shirky’s first two posts over on Valleywag raised a question many have been asking of late. Just how many residents does this really represent?
While I disagree with much of Clay’s second post his initial post prompted others to join the conversation, some of whom are actually SL residents. Only Philip Rosedale and Linden Lab are able to answer their questions. Until they come out and confirm the number of SL residents speculation will continue. The sooner they decide to do so the better for everyone concerned.
For now congratulations to Philip and all the Linden Lab team on hitting 2 million accounts. Knowing how hard they have toiled to reach this landmark it should have been all the more sweeter an achievement were it not for the above questions going unanswered. Here’s hoping they take this opportunity to do so once and for all.
