interestingly unique way of counting your time here. I for one am pretty happy most of those people have given up. L.L. Is having trouble handling the amount of people that are here now. Slower growth means better quality for the rest of us!

I'm only 10 days behind you. And I've been in-world every single one of those 990 days - 40 or more hours a week every week for over 2-1/2 years.

I think about in-world activities and people as casually and often as I do the workaday world. I can't separate either out as more or less important generally speaking (barring out-world emergencies, of course).

I have to refrain from slipping into Second Life mode around friends and co-workers, however. They all fall silent and stare at me glassy-eyed with "I have no idea what the hell you are talking about" looks on their faces.

Here's to your next 1,000 days. Salud!

Congrats on 1000 days!!!

While I do think work on the left side of the equation is valuable, it would be even MORE valuable to work on stuff toward the middle and left. Why? Any money that they spend getting people to the web site is wasted if they don't move them to the other stages. It is kind of like way back when people used to have lots and lots of children but only a few would survive due to childhood illnesses, accidents, etc. Today, people have fewer children but by and large they survive to adulthood. Taking better care of children and general health improvements meant a better survuval ratio.

Although it does not appear LL spends much to get to new customers, for most companies, getting a customer to take a fist step toward using a product is extremely expensive. Keeping them at that point is less costly than trying to attract new ones. LL will never be able to really grow its user base without understanding this.
