TATERU'S TAKE ON REALITY

As longtime New World Notes readers know, Monday means mixed reality-- the day when this blog is devoted to covering intersections between Second Life and fragments of the real world, be that in the form of an established meatspace company, non-profit/political organization, or personality.  Since news of those keep coming more and more frequently, I've sought help compiling my "Mixed Reality Mondays" round-up-- and who better to turn to, than a woman with blue wings and a heart beating strong in the center of her open chest?

So from this Monday onward, I'm happy to announce Tateru Nino will be taking over NWN's "Mixed Reality Mondays".  She's already proven herself a master of tracking the demographics of Second Life, and ruminating on its larger meaning (as here and here), so I know she'll bring the same kind of sharp wit to this constantly unfolding story of Second Life's growth.  I'll still be writing individual stories on the intersection of RL and SL, but Tateru will be compiling the broad round-up.

So if you know of any companies/organizations/personages bringing their reality into the metaverse, e-mail Tateru with the tip.  If their appearance involves a specific event, consider contacting Rik Riel, for consideration in his Events list.  And as always, if it's a corporate, for-profit enterprise, consider advertising on this blog through Federated Media.

I'm delighted to be in such charming and gifted company. Yay, Tateru!

I swear, Tateru must be using VMWare or something to virtualize herself. She's everywhere recently. :-)

I think that she writes for every SL news site.
And she managed to do the 3rd anniversary. She's an overachiever.

Yay Tateru!

I've always loved Tat's writing style, she's got a wonderful sense of language for these sorts of things. She really writes from the heart. :)

Congrats Tat! (Hey that rhymes!)

The Coeur-et-Fleur continue to blossom. ^_^

I like to keep busy, it's true :)

I don't actually write for *every* SL news site, Interfect. It just *seems* that way. ;)

A few of them have not made offers - and, frankly, my style doesn't necessarily suit everyone.

It's fun to be branching out a bit. I hope everyone will be kind when I inevitably make the odd screw-up.

I'm starting to suspect, we are seeing a secret copybot trial that went out of control.

Dozens of Tateru Ninos writing thousands of words.

Cool!!!
