Second Life Daily News
We've been working on improving all of our Second Life coverage, and from today you'll find more of that in its own section, rather than on the front page where it gets tangled up with the games. You'll still find bigger and broader interest pieces on the front page, but it's clear from the feedback we've been getting that more coverage is wanted, and that it deserves a dedicated section.
