New Second Life Study Shows Slowing Growth

A recent study by the Yankee Group has indicated that there has been a significant lack of growth in virtual worlds such as Second Life which may be due to their non-mobile nature. According to this study, Second Lifers only average 12 minutes per month in-world, while sites like Facebook entertain visitors for 186 minutes per month.

    fyi, the study has been pulled, the Yankee Group’s credibility has taken a hit, and other analysts might be smelling blood.

    Turns out SL is, according the Guardian’s numbers which came out prior to the report and other analysts, far stickier than Facebook.
