Second Life Newser Reaches 700 Likes on Facebook

Second Life and Facebook are sometimes at odds. such as when the latter insists those who use both can't use their avatar names (though if they include some real-life information, the moderators may let a pseudonym slide). But it's so widespread and otherwise convenient, a lot of SL residents use it. They post pictures, vent about drama, and of course see what the SL Newser has to say about goings-on in the Grid. A few days ago, we received our 700th like on our Facebook page.

So keep on reading, and if you haven't given us a like before, go ahead and do so.

500 "Likes" on Facebook

Second Life Newser's page on Facebook reached a small milestone last week, reaching 500 fans from the social network service.

When the page first started (a suggestion from Sam Nightfire), it quickly went to over 400 "Likes." For weeks, it's been hanging at 498 and 499, before the 500th reader finally signed up to get regular updates via Facebook.

Currently, the Newser gets several hundred readers a day, varying by both day of the week, and if a major event in the news, such as Burn2 or the Relay for Life, is going on.
