Study: Second Life Overhyped

Boston-based research firm Yankee Group's note, "Wither Second Life?" states that the virtual world Second Life is stagnating, with the user growth rate reaching its peak in October 2006.

According to the study, users visit Second Life for only 12 minutes on average -- per month.

Yankee Group said that the lack of growth may be attributed to the fact that people are opting to go mobile instead of sitting in front of a PC.
