Comments on: The Messenger’s Message: There’s A New Newspaper in Second Life http://alphavilleherald.com/2005/08/the_messengers_.html Always Fairly Unbalanced Tue, 04 Oct 2016 13:18:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: Krissy Sinclair http://alphavilleherald.com/2005/08/the_messengers_.html/comment-page-1#comment-45375 Krissy Sinclair Sun, 11 Oct 2009 14:06:46 +0000 http://localhost/wp_2/?p=2260#comment-45375 I know this is a little off topic, but I feel I must share. Second Life in the early days was very much about collaborations and helping one another. As it matured it has become more about commerce. I hope we do not loose the spirit of collaboration. The arts and nonprofits in Second Life still afford us a chance to come together in the spirit of collaboration. We have a chance to change the world and create a world that is as we wish it was in real life. We can learn from one another. The Survivors of Suicide Project in Second Life is a suicide prevention program. In these uncertain times and economic stress more people are feeling isolated, alone, that they don’t matter, and want to give up. Each and everyone of us can make a difference just by reaching out to one another. Spend that little bit more time and get to know a new person. People all around us are dealing with depression. Most of us with depression wear a mask and hide out true feelings. I need your help, in getting the word out about suicide prevention. Help me distribute the Suicide Prevention kiosks. Get involved and any way you can. Step forward and say we are going to stop suicide in our lifetime by talking about it. We need to get it out of the closet and make it a topic that it is ok to talk about. I would love volunteers, everyone has something they can do to get involved. If you have a sim, store, build, please consider posting a Suicide Prevention kiosks. I am also in great need of sponsors to help this project grow, need to get ads in the SL magazines, on the SL TV, blogs and billboards. Please, please lets do something about this preventable tragedy. <a href="http://slurl.com/secondlife/Haetae/160/30/97" rel="nofollow">http://slurl.com/secondlife/Haetae/160/30/97</a> Krissy Sinclair I know this is a little off topic, but I feel I must share.

I'm rushing to put kiosks of this new newspaper on all my malls. This is great. And their front-page story is about InfoNet, another hugely important development in communications in SL. There's a reason why the FIC are howling on the forums, either rushing to smother the Messenger with "advice" or trashing the new RFP for SLTV: they sense that all their beautiful wickedness may be melting. With new media opening up within SL that is not currently FIC-controlled -- or at least not yet! -- the hectoring know-it-alls on the SL forums now have a serious challenge. With any luck, the new media will make the forums -- and the FIC that has a hammerlock on them -- obsolete. This is a VERY important development!

Sorry, gotta run, Claudia Schiffer wants me to put some sun tan lotion on her back and Peter Gabriel started another fire in the kitchen. Must I do *everything*?
