grid

The Grid essisentially is the world of second life. Take a look at the images below. The first image you see is that of a more local shot of the University of Kentucky and surrounding islands of higher learning. Looks like a lot of islands does it not. Well let us take a glance at the grid as a whole, and you will see how large it is. [|Source] Roughly speaking currently there are about 60,000+ users of second life. That is a lot of users, however there are approximately 20,000 simulations in the grid. To also meet the demand of the growing world Linden Labs is currently being somewhere around 700 islands a month. It seems that they will be easily able to keep up with the demand and popularity of second life.
