Has there ever been a general survey done of SLers? Have more in-depth questions been asked about their experiences? What do most SLers use SL for? Sex? Partying? Creating? Business? Combat? Roleplaying? How many of us actually own or rent land? How much is contributed to the economy and how and why? What do we really want? Sure, we have as many interests and opinions as there are residents, but what are our common interests and needs? We certainly seem to have a pretty common view about these latest announcements, that's for certain.LL keeps saying that it'd be so hard to have 1:1 discussions and dialogue with us residents, but how do they even truly know what we need if they do not truly know who we are?
Just thinking out loud...

An excellent post, Elle.
My guess is they lack any demographic detail of the sort you describe.
I'm with Zoe. It makes sense that LL are most often going to hear from folks who have the biggest financial stake in SL. There's nothing inherently wrong with that, but I don't know if it's possible for them to have a true handle on the real "Joe Average" SL denizen. This parallels 1st Life, I'm sure.
I'm certain I'm not "average" in SL, if we go by numbers, because I don't visit "Blingtardia" unless I'm doing a lightning strike on a shop or art build somebody has recommended. I pretty much stay in Steelhead and Caledon, occasional forays into Babbage, Steeltopia, Antiquity, and Versaille. All historic sims with a completely different level of interaction then SL at large.
