More business than you think


There is more business success in SL than the mainstream media thinks and even L4U's premiere virtual journalist Draxtor Despres got it wrong last week, asserting non-profits are the only ones to gain traction in SL.

Still, here's his latest report from last week's vBusiness Expo inworld. More on the channel later.

Virginia Tech Memorial Tribute


The VT Memorial in Second Life® on the sim "Memorial Park" is a quite, peaceful place to remember those that were lost in the Virginia Tech tragedy. We remember those that lost their life last year on April 16th in the Virginia Tech tragedy. As we remember them everyday with our in world memorial on the sim of "Memorial Park". We also have memorials for other students that have lost there lives to tragedies, like the 5 students from NIU. Our memorial runs year around. And they are interactive with both of the universities websites. Think is a great sim to just enjoy a quiet place in SL. If your there to honor the ones lost or just to reflect on life, I would suggest you stop by Memorial Park. Taking it one day at a time.

We will continue to invent the future through our blood and tears and through all our sadness ...
We are the Hokies ...

I would like to thank Milosun Czervik, Marston Davids, Amber Valentine, Penelope Ghia, Ashtyn Pomeray, Spontaneous Radio and the rest of the Heart Family for there help in building this great sim Memorial Park.
