Tour of Info Island, Saturday morning
Just joined a whole bunch of librarians on a tour of Info Island led by Lorelei Junot.
Some interesting factettes:
- On the opening day for Info Island, the number of visitors was 16 000.
- On an average day, they get 4000-6000 visitors. I find that astounding.
- A non-profit island like Cybrary City costs USD890 to purchase
- A non-profit island costs USD150 per month to run
- Visitors to SL are 50-60% from US. Many of the others are from Canada or Europe.
- More international visitors came when they stopped taking cell phone numbers and credit cards at signup.
