Interesting opinion post on Hypergrid Business: Kitely, InWorldz OpenSim’s most valuable grids

The argument is that both these commercial grids have done valuable work in advertising and marketing to bring new users into OpenSim. This is suggested by the total numbers of registrations each year.

Initially, InWorldz had the lion's share of new registrations. However, in the first 11 months of 2016, Kitely has overtaken InWorldz, as this graph of user registrations shows.

The article also touches on the two grids' different approaches to community, technology and content, highlighting Kitely's modular approach to innovation that enables it to maintain compatibility with core OpenSim plus the role Kitely Market plays in enabling content creators to sell their products across the hypergrid and even into closed grids.

I startet my journey through Hypergrid in Metropolis, as I found Kitely I was almost immediately sure, that I had found my Home in Hypergrid!
The most important reason for me is the Kitely Marketplace, followed by content-protection and landprices (which are really fair). Important for me is also the possibility to save my sim to my PC (I have lost so many sims in SL). Inworldz was never a possibility for me! I am not a big fan of totally closed grids since I know about Hypergrid. In totally closed grids I am feeling like a prisoner ....

locked in and severely limited...once I found the hyperverse I knew I found my place also, and with the freedoms I like-)

That is truly what is great about the hypergrid. Freedom! It is something that LL refuses to learn has a market value in and of itself.
