Nexeus Fatale, DJ Extraordinaire, has hit upon a great way to give back to the community. His ‘DJ For a Cause’ mission is to donate his DJ services to anyone, individual or organization, who fits the requirements: Their event must be philanthropic in nature (such as fund raising) and has to embody the Holiday theme of giving to others.
I see this as a great way to promote SL’s philanthropic nature, which is embodied in its residents. These days, most of the press goes to sensational events, and not enough to the altruism that I see so often in-world. Nexeus is on the right track with this, and hopes that others will follow this example. You can read more of this here.
(Thanks, Nexeus!)

This is your moment of WTF? Dorling Kindersley, who many of you may know through their wonderful Eyewitness Series of illustrated reference books, have created a new game in Habbo Hotel to promote a new Christmas book called Do Not Open. Apparently it’s going well, attracting over 1,000 players in its first week.
However, DK is calling this approach the ‘Second Life For Teens model’ — but they’re not using Second Life to do it! Couldn’t they have called it the ‘Virtual Worlds For Teens model’ instead? Not to assume too much about the intelligence of the average member of the public, but I can see people getting confused about this quite easily. And it begs the question: Does DK have an interest in SL at all?
