Reuters had great reporting on SL (http://secondlife.reuters.com/), but their active reporter "Eric Reuters" left them on Sept. 30th. Adam Reuters, their original reporter, is working on other things, according to Massively http://www.massively.com/2008/09/30/reuters-reporter-to-withdraw-from-second-life/
Reuters still has said nothing about any intentions to go forward.
Do you read any news (news, not fashion pls.!) blogs about SL, or virtual worlds blogs that also cover SL? What are your favorites?

I can't say I read any SL News blogs, or blogs in general, except occasionally when a link is posted to a prticular story here or on SLU.

Some of my favorites are New World Notes, NPiRL, Torley Lives, and Gwyneth Llewelyn's site. I've created a site to keep track about 40 different SL blogs and news outlets that I like. It updates automatically every hour and includes links to every site and article.

I really hope Reuter's finds a replacement who will carry on... They had such great info I never found anywhere else, with far less drivel...
It would be wonderful if they, or someone else, were able to fill this void.I was hoping your thread would bring forward other sources , but Massively's SL feed is already in my list too._____________________

It'd be a loss to LL if they abandoned SL. Reuters is a place you can point skeptics to as an indication SL is being taken seriously.
