Linden Media Department: Warn us when launcing your hype rocket

Why can't the Linden Lab media department prepare a opt-in mailing list for the business owners in SL that would like to be warned when a article or news coverage about Second Life is to be relased? We had the Brazilian one - then the French one today. On Tuesdays my staff and I have administrative meetings. We could not do that today due to the constant stream of new French players coming onto the island. We tried to take some to the french sim - but of course that was so full not another person could enter.

If you tell us when you are advertising our content - we can prepare to welcome the newcomers instead of growling at them. As a greeter I also want some forewarning. Not a word was muttered in the greeter group all day about all of the new players. No preparation at all. Simply amazing.

Please respond concerning a opt-in media alert list for SL residents that need to know when a SL article or news coverage is going to released in a new community.

We usually don't know in advance when a story will be run by the media. Like you, we have to react quickly when there's unexpected an influx of people. Our focus in those cases is to alert the mentors through the volunteer channels, add more OIs and do our best to try to make them feel welcome.
