Recent SL-related dispatches from the outside world...
- Gingrich In Second Life as part of potential Presidential bid - Washington Post
Contract with (on?) the Metaverse: In his weekly column published today, [Newt] Gingrich states Second Life, "is so compelling that people actually spend real money to buy real estate in this online reality." Speechless.
- Royal Liverpool Philharmonic in Second Life - New York Times
NWN events columnist Rik Riel is, of course, the avatar in a purple suit "with a hat and roller skates to match".
- Virtual Worlds News: Federal Government Expanding in Virtual Worlds
Giant news. From the linked Government Executive notice: "[T]he consortium plans a major push to establish a federal presence in Second Life and other virtual environments... The Air Force and Navy already have signed up with the consortium,
Robinson said, as well as multiple civilian agencies, including the

Library of Congress, and two early federal Second Life pioneers: NASA
and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration."
