I got tired of having to wonder about all the web sites with news to get what is going on in SecondLife. Most are messy, overloaded with banners and it takes forever to get at the beef, The news. So here we go a server dedicated to just NEWS, SL news. As clean and simple as can be.

No need to become a member. Membership is free and only needed for those who want to add other news sources for thier own page.

So ever onward and ever forward. So I am pleased to let you all share in something I want and you get to beifit from ;-).

Server is at my-slnews.com

The server polls the headlines live from
Allana - Google - SL Linden Blog - Linden Blog Comments
Pixel Pulse - Second Style - SecondLife Herald - SecondLife Insider
SL Police Blotter - Reuters

Looking for other newsworthy sources to add.
Enjoy

I like the idea behind it. The news items seem pretty interesting also. The only thing I can really comment on is the template you used. My biggest suggestion would be to get rid of the horizontal lines that make up the background, it really hurts the brain to try and read the text in front of it.

Overall, I like the idea. I'll be sure to check back.
