Blogger John Connell for the Mayo programme (see John's pic). As all this happened in a metaverse is this meta, meta citizen journalism? It is certainly 360 degree reporting in a very literal sense. Our experiment rapidly turned into an improvised reworking of speakers corner as curious Five Live listeners dropped by to look at 'Journo Lumpen' as I unimaginatively style myself (one deciding my third rate avatar looked a bit like Morph). It's surprisingly hard to talk on the radio, IM with second lifers and arrange interviews all at the same time, and I must have seemed very distracted. So thanks to all who made me feel so welcome. For the record I would say we had a 50/50 split between Second Lifers who dropped by to take part in the programme and text messages from the camp. If Neilsen is right and daily usage is around 10,000 - 25,000 individuals then it was a very pleasing turn out.

We'd love to do more in Second Life on Pods and Blogs. If you've an idea of things we might do drop a note in comments. One thought, I wonder if we might "simulcast" with a SL radio station or podcast?
