Re: “for some reason, Linden Lab was in a hurry to give out awards, for some strange reason.”

Yes, Catherine seemed to hint at this today by saying that the Lindens plan to roll out their official “Linden Award” soon, they know there will be howling about that being unfair, so it was as if they were drawing all the fire to this exercise, where they could also give people a chance to do the picking, so there’d be this sense that there was not only “Linden choice” but “resident choice.”

The rush to put content in the infohubs was unseemly — in fact, I’m annoyed at the Lindens for not revealing that they were going to come out with these hubs. It’s good that they have them and put content in them, but there are problems with the whole system which they still refuse to pay attention to, load balancing, etc. They have enough Lindens now on staff where they really should have given consideration to taking nominations for picks and changed them once a month, just calling them “recommendations we have received” without making a “contest” or a “best” or a “winners’ circle” which is ridiculous. I myself just take recommendations people give me, and if they are within a broad norm, i.e. not just somebody’s self-advertised store, I put it in my infohub list. I ask people to contribute and they keep sending it and I try to refresh it. I don’t pretend a contest was held or a vote, it’s just a recommendation.

You’ve added another good idea for a requirement: that to be nominated, a person has to have a slurl too to their build, their store, their SOMETHING.

Ah well. Real life is full of illusions

I, and some others, at the time felt that was something of an error in observation. In the decades that followed, I certainly encountered enough people who believed it, though.

Links for notecards, huh? That would definitely have changed the complexion of it, IMO.

[WORDPRESS HASHCASH] The poster sent us ’0 which is not a hashcash value.
