Biography
Jim Sella started his Second Life experience in August 2007. He learned quickly and soon started helping other new residents. In November 2007, CNN came to Second Life, extending its iReports program to in-world residents, Jim felt strongly about being part of it. He has contributed reports on the change in banking rules, an in-world memorial for a world leader and giant snail races. In early February 2008, he led the weekly news chat at CNN's in-world site, the first iReporter to do so. Jim has been an asset to the Second Life iReport initiative.
