SLStats is another interesting example of connecting Second Life to external web-services. SLStats requires users to wear a virtual watch (get it at the SLBuzz Store), which is scripted to send statistical data like current location, online-time and nearby inhabitants to SLStats’ database. all recorded profiles are available to the public, which seems to be ok since SLStats is clearly an opt-in service. however, privacy-concerns are justified, as the SLStats-watch also records the presence of other users, who won’t necessarily agree with such data-mining. besides these issues, SLStats is a great demonstration of what SL’s current interfaces are capable of.
