It looks like, Linden Lab have found a new CEO, Mark Kingdon, former CEO of Organic Inc.. Philip himself writes the blog article, and I am really interested in how M Linden himself will speak to the folk, because that’s what matters right now. There have been a few too many blog articles with the comments and pingbacks disabled in the last weeks, and frankly speaking, SL had a horrible time of failures lately.

(Even in the allowed comments, there were slightly too many posts sounding like keep up the good spirit and “You can do it, Nicky“, for my suspicious mind.)

According to onedegree, Mark’s former advertising company Organic is focused on user centric design approach, and I really hope that will work out for SL, and isn’t just a short cut solution.

Welcome, Mr. M!

Update:

We are entering the period of the
open-source brand, where in order for
people to feel like it is relevant to them,
they have to have a part in creating it,
