60 Minutes ran a story on Second Life this evening. It’s an Australian produced story and featured reporter Liz Hayes. It leant heavily (read: very little new information) on the Australian users covered in the SBS documentary – Diana Gales and Blair Styles. ABC gets a mention but surprisingly Telstra doesn’t. The flow of the story was fairly clumsy to boot as it mixed in Entropia Universe here and there so it appeared it was all the one thing at times. Add to that the usual heavy dose of sex / gambling obsession and it was typical 60 minutes tabloid approach
Mudgutz and I watched the show and I sent off an email to 60 minutes and here it is …..
Hi,
we watched your story last night 23rd June 2007 about Second Life. My partner and I are members and we love it. We agree with the couple that was interviewed, it does add a new dimension to our relationship. We have met alot of new friends from all over the world in Second Life. It really is our “Second Life”.
Thanks for showing the Australia Sim, we are residences there and the owners have worked very hard on it.
Since you aired the show last night, there were alot of new members that signed up and came to the Australia Sim. Thank you so much, Mudgutz and I had fun meeting them last nigt.There will be a grand openning of their new club, at Australia Sim, on the 29th and 30th of June at the Surfers Beach Club. Come on down Liz, you are more than welcome to join us. It will be so much fun.
We hope to see you there.
