::fibreculture:: second life: hype alert

[Geert Lovink]

hi all, maybe everyone already noticed, but there are some interesting 
statistics available about active Second Life use. Australia is elventh 
with a bit under 10.000 avatars, which is 1.93% of the total avatars 
counted and 1.98% of the total hours counted. just in case you thought 
everyone was on SL... The hype around SL has been intense lately, 
mainly fed by old school broadcast and print media and the wannabe cool 
corporations. geert
