| When I started in SL in 2006 at the beginning of the hype cycle - SL had um, 6000 concurrency. It was not big. It only grew when the floodgates were opened to no payment info on file. That helped a lot to get new people interested and using SL, but sorry, even IMVU has higher concurrency than SL does. SL does not even belong in the same sentence with MySpace or Facebook.

"I call it purring, not growling," said Alice. "Call it what you like," said the Cat. |

"...our research shows that privacy concerns, frequent changes to the website, and commercialization and advertising adversely affect the consumer experience." I think when LL said they wanted to be more like facebook, they meant in the social networking sense, which people still enjoy. I don't. But a lot of my friends do.

My Mood: | When I think of Facebook, I think of... Privacy concerns, frequent changes to the website (at least the way your information is shown to everyone unless you continuously request to keep things private), and commercialization and advertising. Oh and some social B.S. |

My Mood: | I don't like Facebook, am not a member, and certainly not likely to spend money there I like SL, log in virtually every day, and spend several thousands a year I think I am typical of many verteran SL avis And SL wants to be like Facebook????? SL is #1 in its own special niche, why be number 20-something in some other niche?

I'm pretty sure they're profitable. If they're not, it's only because they haven't sold that info yet to the highest bidder.

| Geocities died because better alternatives were able to move in quickly (Ok, with sites like MySpace, "better* is relative), along with blogging taking its place in a number of ways. What services are prepped to become the next (better) Facebook? |
