FBI Experimenting In Second Life The FBI is making a push to explore the social side of the Web, recruiting for new members and distributing its most wanted lists across social networks, virtual worlds, and the iPhone. In what the FBI calls a "pilot test," the agency is distributing virtual billboards and kiosks across Second Life that connect users to lists of the Ten Most Wanted fugitives, job boards, a crime complaint center, and more wanted posters.

Dear FRiends,

In light of what is transpiring in our nation's capitol, more than ever, we need to ensure that places like Free Republic and other like-minded places continue to speak the plain truth. Newspapers are dying and the current administation will either bail them out or allow them to fail. If they are bailed out, they will be even more beholding to the coming socialist agenda. If they are allowed to fail, the powers that be will force the remaining electronic media to fill the void. Local coverage only. No national syndicated news/talk. The "Fairness Doctrine", like it or not.

After that, the internet. Free Republic. And others.

We need to get this FReepathon over and right now. We need to show that we are serious and will continue forward and thrive, not just survive.

If you can spare a couple of bucks, that would be great...If not, God bless you and please stop by the FReepathon thread and give it a bump.

We're all in this together.

I’ve received a number of inquiries lately about jihadi use of virtual worlds (e.g. SecondLife) for the purpose of training or planning terrorist attacks. I haven’t seen any sign of this, and frankly we should be so luckily that they would engage in that kind of activity on the public Internet.

I *have* seen signs of jihadi use of virtual spaces for training, just not online.

Sounds like an FBI agent/geek who plays that game at home, found a way to get paid for playing it at work all day too.

Well hopefully the FBI getting involved will mean the end to griefers or griefer wannabees,because three days in a row a building area i frequent has been getting chat spammed.
