Is this a Second Life population number?
Aug 15th, 2006 by ShaunO
Well just a quick note to say that the Second Life home page population statistics have been updated as pre-advised in a post from Linden Labs. Happened sometime between 10-11 PDT. Residents are now ‘Users’ interestingly… that’ll set tongues wagging..Interesting change in the way the ‘$US Spent’ number is being reported too – as last 24hrs – pretty well guaranteeing it will always be a post $250K number…
An interesting post on the whole numbers thing – well historical population numbers back to November 2004 anyway – is at Clickable Cultures blog.
My pages have been updated so SL homepage, historical data page, and old historical data page are all ok again.
[UPDATE 16Aug2006]
well.. sometime before 09:00 16/08/2006 PDT ‘Users’ became ‘Residents’ again.. all will be pleased :-) not sure if there was any feedback in the forums or whatever, didn’t check.. anyway my ‘page scrapers’ updated again..

and again – hope they’ve made up their minds now … data between about 18:00 22Aug and 13:00 23Aug is subsequently a bit ‘iffy’ as I have back-filled it..
