Linden Lab Goes Live With SL Econ Data

Linden Lab has begun publishing live economic statistics on a daily basis for its virtual world, Second Life. [Via Clickable Culture.] Stats include the number of users who’ve logged in in the last 60 days (more than 100,000), land added to the grid, money supply and resident transaction data, and L$ sources and sinks. It’s not a lot of information, and a couple of methodological questions remain — for instance, does “residents” refer to physical people, or to accounts, more than one of which may be held by the same person — but it’s a good start. Data is available for download as an Excel file as well, or for use on the Web in XML format.
