Microsoft Life?
Ironically, just a few days after writing my other post, imagining that after a rough summer, with lots of media drama around Second Life and Linden Lab’s ever-annoying attitudes to frustrate their userbase more and more, we would enter a period of relative calm until Christmas (when LL is supposed to start announcing the grid-wide implementation of meshes and Display Names), the SLogosphere was suddenly shaken up with the interesting…
Fast, Easy & Fun!
Search for “Fast Easy Fun Second Life” in Google, and you get two million results. By now, it’s quite hard to believe that anyone vaguely familiar with Second Life hasn’t heard the new motto, launched by Philip Linden during his Town Hall meeting last Friday (July 30, 2010). If you missed all the fun, you can still watch the archived video stream from Treet.TV. If, like me, you’re too lazy…
Some thoughts on the first-hour experience, on the Herald
It’s been ages since I wrote anything for the Alphaville Herald, but Pixeleen Mistral has been pestering me (in the good sense of the word!) to write an Op/Ed article related to the latest changes at Linden Lab and what we can hope to expect from them. Well, I was a bit devious and did not write exactly what Pixeleen had in mind But you’re welcome to add some comments…
King of Spades Out, Ace of Hearts In
Wow, what a ride! The Second Life Birthday events are usually full of drama (mostly regarding of what constitutes “art”, and bickering among the organisation managers, usually a mix of residents and Lindens… and where the Lindens, close to the end, sometimes have to kick the residents out and do whatever they need to do to get it rolling). This time, however, it was a box full of surprises. When…
Speculative Splitting
Well, drama aside, I just wanted to refresh a suggestion for the Road Ahead for Linden Lab®. It is deeply buried inside the long list of comments on my recent post. I cannot take credit from the overall concept, because I saw it suggested somewhere else — and sadly forgot to keep a link for it, because I didn’t think it was worth considering at that time. A couple of…
F for Fail
[Ok, so, you should be wary of what you read on April 1... don't take this article too seriously! Nevertheless, I seemed to have been rather insulting to many of you, so I wrote a new article with some apologies — and some surprising news!] The past few days I have been rather frustrated with Linden Lab’s technical support. While I’m sure that I will get the answers I require…
Valleywag shuts down but still publishes another doomsday prediction of Second Life
Hiro Pendragon pointed me to the latest bit of Valleywag nonsense, where you can see that once more the End of Second Life® is predicted, falsely claiming that everybody has lost interest in SL except educators. I was angry when publishing the comment which I reprint below (because, well, if I were a moderator at Valleywag I would probably refuse to publish it), but thankfully Hiro was quick enough to…
Linden Lab hires Frank Ambrose as Senior VP of Global Technology
Linden Lab’s latest hire, Frank Ambrose, is the Lab’s new Senior VP of Global Technology — he will be reporting to CEO Mark Kingdon, and will oversee the development of new processes, systems and tools to maximize the scalability of Second Life’s network architecture, leading initiatives to improve platform stability and user support. Ambrose is a former AOL VP in the same area, where he worked for nine years developing the…
Petition to Linden Lab on the Policy of Trademark Enforcement
Introduction Linden Research Inc., a company incorporated in Delaware, United States of America (“Linden”), doing business as Linden Lab®, developers of the Second Life® virtual world platform, owners of not only the Second Life® registered trademark (in the US, Europe, and other countries), and the eye-on-hand logo, but also of several recently registered trademarks (including, but not exclusive, to the words “SL”, “SL Grid”, “Second Life Grid”, “2nd Life”, etc.),…
