In case there's any Second Lifers on this list, I thought I'd mention a little experiment I did last night - created a very simple BBC news ticker that cycles through the latest/newest 10 news items and displays the headlines. For details and teleport/location see http://menti.net/?p=13
It really is incredibly basic, but more features could of course be added (initially thinking of hooks to launch web browser, and the facility to select which "flavour" of the BBC news feed the screen should display.
For those interested, I've added the above-mentioned "hook" to the web browser, so if you touch the news ticker in-world, it will open the BBC news page corresponding to the headline (the one displayed at the time you touch the ticker).
Mario.
