    A similar study was recently completed by our Social Research Foundation interviewing about 1300 of the most active SL residents on our First Opinions Panel. Results are available at no charge at http://socialresearchfoundation.org/report/index.html

    Very interesting! Thanks for sharing. I love your graphic approach to data sharing. It strikes me that none of your respondents mentioned 'profit' as a motive. I know firsthand that the link between L$ and $ can be potential-laden, even for educators. Keep up the good work! I got here via LinkedIn, btw, and I love the new relationship between LinkedIn and Slideshare, which allows sharing out slideshows from within the former...Cheers! Scott
