Not sure if this is an update from my previous post of this chart, but Massively reports the latest KZero forecast for virtual world growth:

Interesting, anyways, and visual.
Mind you, KZero is also the company that charges 117 pounds for a report on SL statistics that includes stats you can practically get entirely from SL itself (but hey, they took the time to put it into slides):
Registered accounts
Unique accounts
User account metrics
Growth rates
Gender splits
Total and average hours
Age ranges
Accounts by region/country
Usage types by region/country
Demographic state of play
Qualitative research


Hi Susan. Thanks for the story.
I would just like to point out (in the nicest possible way of course) that there’s a big difference between data collection and data analysis (and a lot of demand for the latter).
Happy new year.
Nic
Agreed.
I was hoping to know what the analysis was!
Very nice post, Thanks!
