Hamlet Au, aka Wagner James Au, who covers the virtual world of Second Life at New World Notes

we make money not art is running an interview with Wagner James Au today, who in the virtual world of Second Life is known as Hamlet Au, and who for three years was Hamlet Linden, contracted by Linden Lab as an “embedded journalist” in Second Life. Au now covers SL independently at New World Notes. The interview skews slightly in the direction of computer games, but that’s the interviewer’s bias, not that of James, who has a better grasp of how important reporting on virtual worlds is and will become. As James puts it, “virtual reporting will become an integral part of real world reporting in the next decade.” Couldn’t agree more. We ran our own interview with James at the Second Life Herald back in February on the eve of his leaving Linden Lab’s employ.
