Linden has released a cool survey of developers providing 3rd party services in the Second Life platform. At SXSW, Reuben Steiger of Millions of Us was very upfront about calling himself “an ad agency,” and that’s what some of these folks do — certainly many of the ones making big bucks. The value isn’t so much in the eyeballs they get in SL, it’s in the publicity that ensues when the build for some company gets picked up by a wire service and plastered all over the news.
Anyway, a few of the stats:
- Around 560 people making their living at it.
- Around 380 projects going right now.
- Biggest company has 175 people.
- Total revenues in Q1 07: $6.7m (note that the media revenue is down at $31,500).
