Top Five Webcomics of the Sunweaver/Angels Community

 

So what does a Second Life resident do when not going about Second Life, or perhaps do when taking a short break from clubbing or exploring or listening to a science discussion? One activity some do is browse Internet comics, either check up the latest on a favorite strip or browse one they just came across. Among them is Nydia Tungsten, whom decided to see which were the favorites of the others in her community in Second Life, the Sunweavers/Angels. So what were the results?

Top Stories of The 2010s, Part One

The 2010's are almost over. Over the past decade, the Newser has reported on thousands of stories. But some stand out more than others. As time goes on and new residents show up, what was big news then becomes unknown or forgotten to more and more. So in this part of a miniseries, the Newser takes a look back at some of the major headlines in which residents were anxious to read on what happened next.

The Top April Fool?

Daniel Voyager made a list of what he considered the best articles related to April Fools on Second Life both this year and previous ones. Some were downright unbelievable, such as Linden Labs getting involved in genetic engineering of man-animal hybrids. Gwyenth Llewelyn did a "Class 6 Servers Are Out" article in 2009 which seemed perfectly believable to this working stiff (maybe one needs to be a serious techie to get more of the "joke"). Most were at least a little believable to get some going, "Aw, how could I fall for that?"

Daniel's top April Fool? The one we pulled this year. ;-)

It wasn't my only idea, which makes me wonder which jokes out there were put aside.

There just seems to be something about April Fools Day, at least for humorists. ;-)
