User count on Second Life

[JohnathonBulgari]

Is there any way to see how many people are on Second Life in real time or a page that updates frequently?

 

Thank you

If you use the Firestorm viewer, that information is always posted on their login page.  If you will be satisfied with average daily figures and want a historical perspective, you can find statistics at http://gridsurvey.com/economy.php

Not quite realtime, think its every few (15?) minutes

There are scripted objects that show how many people are logged in at a given time.  I have one in the lobby at The Masocado Resort, and there's another near the chat circle at Caledon Oxbridge University.

Here's one I found on the Marketplace.

There are others...in fact, if I recall correctly, there is, or used to be, one in the Library section of your inventory.

As others have said already, you can get the number of accounts logged on at any given time with scripts and on the startup page of many thrid party viewers. However, there are quite a lot of bots in Second Life and many users log on with several alts at the same time for various reasons. As far as I know, nobody has made a serious attempt to figure out how many actual people are logged on to SL, it may well be less than half the official number.

Since Rolig mentioned Gridsurvey, please note that the concurrency data there hasn't been updated since 2010, so it's definitely only for a "historial perspective"
