Real time Second Life Stats
I am not sure how this one slipped by me, but it dang sure had until this morning Marshall Sponder over at Web Metrics Guru posted about Second Life Metrics Statistics from SL Labs. Marshall was responsible for sending me over to SLBuzz who has a rather interesting device which enables avatars to have SL stats upon their wrists.
From SLBuzz.com comes the following.
Second Life Statistics
SL Stats allows you to see how much time you spend in Second Life using a small attachment that your avatar can wear.
SL Stats is completely passive, and, much like the rest of SLBuzz, neatly integrated into Second Life.
How to get started
If you want to partake in this venture, go to the SLBuzz Store and grab one of the watches (they’re FREE!).
Then simply wear it. It will analyze your stats and create a customized profile for you.
The watch is modifiable, too, so you can even put the script into your own creations.
We use several techniques and methods in order to track non-resident related statistics, monitoring and measuring Second Life’s simulator as well as economic growth.
In the near future we will make more of these statistics available on this site.
I haven’t had time to play with this watch yet, but will check it out farther and come back and up date this post in the near future. In the mean time any of you who are using this watch to check on stats of the sims you are visiting… Leave comments here and let all our readers know what your experience has been.

There are several Official Forum threads and third-party blog discussions about this where the privacy implications are also discussed, which you might be interested in looking over.

Thanks Ordinal
I wonder a bit about what they are doing with the information from this watch, also whether or not it will work on parcels where scripting is turned off. That is a big problem for these global SL tools in that they don’t work in no scripting areas. Thus that would skew the accuracy of the online stats.
Feel free to share any links or information you have, Ordinal, I’m sure other readers would be interested too.
