Which is it? Is New World Notes about Real Life, or our Second Life? The articles lately seem to be more about RL, and very little specifically about SL. Mainly it's about RL, with it happening to be somehow connected to SL.
How about mostly SL related articles?

It's nice to see things about people in the articles. Things most probably wouldn't know of a person. You only see the man/woman/alien/devil/monkey they play in world and not the person behind the avatar. That's one thing NWN is accomplishing and helping to get us united as a community.
But yeah, it's really cool to hear about some of the SL stuff going on.

Well, I try to go back and forth, between stories that deal
mostly with SL, and stories that deal largely with the way
RL intersects with SL. The thing is, SL is like no other
online world, in this regard. We're not a traditional MMO
like EQ or SWG. Linden Dollars are exchanged for real
money on a regular basis. People retain their real IP rights,
for anything they create here. People start groups meant
to benefit real world non-profits, for example, or real world
sufferers of hepatitis, or on behalf of their real political
beliefs or their real sexual orientations. And so on.
Because of this, I believe I'd *not* be doing my job as
embedded journalist, if I didn't give the real world its due.
Know what I mean?

It depends on whether or not you wish to discuss things of your personal life. I know that my life is definately not uhm, 'open chat' worthy not in a general public sense, but possibly on a mature forum it may be.
