Henrik Linden at the Second Life Creativity blog has an interesting call out for former residents of Second Life, for his project studying creativity in Linden Lab’s virtual world.

To help me see a fuller picture I would really like to get in contact with former residents. It is no big secret that a substantial number of people come to Second Life and after spending relatively time there; they leave and often never return. If this sounds like you or you know someone that did this then I would love to hear from you. See About for some contact info or leave a comment.

Henrik is a visiting researcher at Stanford University working in collaboration with Linden Lab to understand creativity in Second Life. His avatar’s surname would imply that he’s also a Linden Lab employee, though I’m not entirely sure about this, given his description of himself. In any case, I’m very much looking forward to the results of his research, both into what makes people stay away, and into what drives creativity among those who stay.
