The Mathematics of Second Life
The whole Second Life user base controversy is like CBS show NUMBERS. Both sides’ logic makes sense. I am not sure I care. If you do, then check out Wagner’s post on GigaGamez.

i tried Second Life, found it wanting. then a friend showed me some stuff a couple of months later, and i was blown away. it’s pretty amazing.
it’s still not my style – it’s a bit too radical – socially, politically, etc. – but there’s something very special happening on ‘sl’.
forget digg and youtube and the rest – sl is going to make web 2.0 look like ncsa mosaic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosaic(webbrowser)) and skip right to web 5.0.
should be fun (and scary) times ahead.
