Hi Linda,

Thanks for the pointer, Marcel. I'll put you on the blog roll!

Don't forget about the upcoming Grid Review, which will be at www.gridreview.com and will host machinima video news out of SL!

Giff, I will definitely be adding Grid Review as soon as it is up and running! I'm lookiing forward to seeing it take off.

Nic, I"m pulling together the blog roll so stay tuned. :-)

Hi! I feel it's important for people to know about PixelPulse Magazine, which just debuted about a month and a half ago. We are a niche publication covering the adult aspect of the grid. A very big part of our focus is business, entrepreneurs and economic development -- everything from animators to clothing makers to night club owners, for example. Thanks very much!

[Linda Zimmer]

Thanks, Cheri. Please note that Cheri said "adult."

PixelPulse is an adult publication. If you are offended by the sexual aspects of SL, this may not be for you.

The magazine is available in-world only (not on the web) as a HUD (heads-up display).

Please add our Second Life TV-Magazin to your list.

Hi! Thanks for linking theKONSTRUKT! Could you please possibly change the description a little bit, to something like "monthly analytical magazine, focusing on sociology and development trends of SecondLife and theGrid"
Thanks you
Anna

[Bettina Tizzy]

I'd love to be added to this list. As always, we are interested in all quality content creation that would not be possible in real life.

Thanks, and HNY2008

Just to point out - you've spelt The AvaStar wrong (you missed out the s!)

[baba coen]
