As Wagner James Au notes at GigaGamez , this suggests that Second Life is “people light but cash heavy.” Tristan’s post prompted a back-and-forth with Clay in the comments, which is worth reading.

Salary for a data warehousing, data mining professional with 10+ experience was less than 80K a year and in silicon valley dollars vs. the rest of the US, that’s attrocious, especially if they are pulling in 250K a day.

They may be moving a virutal economy equal to 250K US a day, but that doesn’t mean they have remotely that amount of income.

If we want to throw virtual ecomonies around, give them the factored $1M US… WOW still beats them ;)

Louis’ post is about statistical analysis of Second Life numbers relating to how many users there are, how much money is spent, and other economic data. […]
