Second Life may be on second life support but there's a new contender in the wings.
Believe it or not, Barbie Girls is on the way to becoming the one of the largest virtual communities in the world.
Second Life took over three years to reach one million users. According to Scientific American, Barbie Girls reached the 3 million user mark in just 60 days and is growing at a rate of 50,000 users a day!
At this rate, Barbie Girls will take over Second Life and World of Warcraft by January 2008.
