Read more about Rod here "New World Notes" and see him talk about his view on "toys not games". I think he may be a good thing for us in SecondLife.

Welcome to my world, Rod, I hope to learn to know and love you!
Don´t piss in my pool or muddy the waters and give me 50 groups and I am sure we will get along handsomely.
Hopefully a new CEO will change the situation. Recently there are so many people leaving.
ReplyDeleteLindenlab makes it almost impossible beeing a successful creator (at least for the last 1.5 years!)
It seems like LL forgot that the grid would not excist without OUR content!
Let's hope that the new CEO understands that it is not just a game, but also a well working market and economy and social network.
Although I feel quite optimistic about this, I refrain from judgement until the Great Bock makes his assessment:) A far better indicator of all things SL and other things too:)
ReplyDeleteGod Jul buddy.
Well guys, we give him the benefit of a doubt for now, if nothing else because he said things that rang true to me in the interview that I linked to - and he is kinda cute too...
ReplyDeleteLets wait and see what he does to back up his passion and cuteness! ;)
Oh almost forgot, God Jul to you too buddy!
