SecondLife publishes some statistics for you to review. I note that 283,000 people have logged in during the last 14 days, and 601,000 during the last 60 days. Here's the table:
| Logged-in Users | |
|---|---|
| Residents Logged-In During Last 7 Days | 208,325 |
| Residents Logged-In During Last 14 Days | 283,008 |
| Residents Logged-In During Last 30 Days | 453,564 |
| Residents Logged-In During Last 60 Days | 601,217 |
This is an international site. For all the buzz, it still looks like just a few people. Maybe I'm wrong.

Actually, the number to look at would probably be how many people are online at the same time.
Yes, it is relatively small, but given that only a little over 1 billion people are online... ;-)

Taran,
That would be an interesting number. Given the size of SL, though, I don't think you could compare the number of people who had logged in to the number of impressions (in an advertising sense).
I suppose the ultimate questions are: (a) How popular will SL become? and (b) Will the platform (bandwidth, hardware, etc.) support the demand?
SL has been evolving for several years. It has just started to get buzz in the last few months. If you compare this to the adoption rate of the Internet, we could be on the verge of something interesting.
