[18:15] B. C.: ok
[18:15] Brooke Yven: Q1. What reasons make you become a CNN iReporter in SL?
[18:16] Brooke Yven: Did you begin this because of your career?
[18:17] B. C.: yes and no lol...i've been working in SL for nearly 3 years now and it was on my own time. But I felt that eventually my RL job would catch up to emergent technology and it has
[18:17] B. C.: so now I am teaching workshops at my RL job about SL and can then report on it
[18:17] B. C.: so reporting has helped develop my career indirectly
[18:17] Brooke Yven: Ok. I understand.
[18:18] Brooke Yven: Q2. What places or what groups of people in SL do you find the most interesting?
[18:18] B. C.: I enjoy the librarians and educators in SL..they are an active, creative group
[18:18] B. C.: I also am active with the church movement in SL
[18:19] Brooke Yven: Then, do you usually report these group or people that you meet in SL?
[18:19] B. C.: I have in the past....but now mostly on my blog
[18:20] Brooke Yven: Then, is there focus group of your reporting? Like your librial activities and groups?
[18:21] B. C.: I usually will report on something specific...such as I led a tour group in SL for first time educators and took them around health sims. I wrote about that
[18:21] Brooke Yven: Ok.
[18:21] Brooke Yven: Q3. How do you find SL stories to report?
[18:21] Luv Bunny (Black) by Second Wildlife v0.20 adores you.

[18:22] Brooke Yven: Q4. What kinds of news have better chances to be “on CNN”?
[18:23] B. C.: oh i think that unfortunately its the sex stuff that makes the cut...and not education or health care issues in SL
[18:23] Brooke Yven: Woo, ok.
[18:23] Brooke Yven: I wondered this would happen in SL only...
[18:24] Brooke Yven: You're the first one who gives a certain answer to this question.
[18:24] B. C.: its titillating and people are fascinated about sex in virtual reality so I can understand but SL is so much ore
[18:24] B. C.: more
[18:24] Brooke Yven: Yes.
[18:24] Brooke Yven: Q5. What is your target audience? How do you know?
[18:24] B. C.: good question ...I assume that if i write about health care education and training a certain audience will automatically be interested in it
[18:25] B. C.: not sure if thats right nor wrong
[18:25] Brooke Yven: Yes, so you have a certain target readers.
[18:25] B. C.: i hope with tag words that people looking for this material will pull it up

[18:28] Brooke Yven: I can tell. according to people I met here.
[18:28] B. C.: I try to promote SL as an educational platform as much as I can
[18:28] Brooke Yven: Our school is the second school having SL as teaching material in Taiwan.

[18:29] B. C.: I hope you take the time to enjoy it beyond working

[18:29] Brooke Yven: lol
[18:29] B. C.: oh interesting ....
[18:30] B. C.: maybe you need to find camera control

[18:32] B. C.: you do that with alt and arrow keys
[18:33] B. C.: you will spin the camera around and see yourself
