Linden Lab chief executive Mark Kingdon shakes his head when he sees news stories heralding the demise of former Internet darling Second Life.

"You read those stories; as CEO I have to shake my head," said Mark Kingdon, who last year took over for founder Philip Rosedale as chief executive of San Francisco-based Linden Lab, the company behind Second Life.

"The reality is that Second Life continues to grow; every second someone joins. Second Life is hopping."

The number of "active users" at Second Life has grown 25 percent since September last year, while the amount of time and money spent in the virtual world has climbed by similar percentages, according to Kingdon.

Independent verification of those figures, has not been forthcoming.
