I think that comment might be a bit of spam that should be deleted. That, however, is not why I came to this thread, I asked earlier if eventful.com has some kind of exclusive arrangement with LL regarding access to the event data. This shouldn't be a difficult question to answer, should it? Eventful.com takes the information about Second Life events and stuffs it into a form designed for real world events. It doesn't quite work right. The result is greatly less than optimal for event holders, prospective attendees, and for that matter, eventful.com itself, which loses return traffic owing to the poor fit between it's interface and data it is displaying.

In March, US residents were under 27% of the active residents. Germany is a big growth area with 13.5%. Asia still remains weak, with no country there cracking the top 10; lots of potential for future expansion there. SL is popular in Brazil, but not in the rest of Latin America. Africa remains an invisible continent in-world. I thought the single biggest piece of news in these statistics is the increasing internationalization of Second Life.

Like logins on/off, grid up/down/lindens-only, that sort of thing? Right now I'l detecting status by a bunch of devices spread around the grid I regularly XMLRPC into. If some number (above a threashold) are not contactable, I assume the grid is down and suspend comms that changes state in all in-world objects. However, I find that can't detect when the grid is up but closed. Sometimes sims get rolled back when you're deploying updates in that situation and I can loose object state I've just updated remotely (e.g. in vendors and that sort of thing). I'm planning to start parsing the status HTML page, but a definitive feed would be nice. Thanks. Any chance we could have a grid status feed too?

Right now I have a process regularly scraping the website for info, but it could be a lot easier if an xml entrypoint were provided. Mature event scanning from the website is especially cumbersome...
