What I am puzzling over is how all of this relates to Wallace's blog post. If the idea was to "pave the way" for THIS announcement, then this might have been done, one would think, without calling down the actual shitstorm that developed. In any case, the whole thing was NOT well handled . . . I've decided that they enjoy the "shitstorms".....and laugh about them at the Wednesday afternoon Thank God it's Hump Day, get-togethers.....over Rumaki and Appletinis. We should all be tolerant of each others' entertainment values, while exploring SL. ![]() |

I bet I know where LL will now "recommend" discussions be taken instead of their flog. _____________________

LOL it's a trap run away!!! run away!!! ![]() Here's what happened, Ceka: Monday morning's "Pump you UP" Meeting, while diving into the glazed honey ham breakfast casserole and mimosas....Wallace was introduced....and there was ribbing about his new job and the speculation of how it would go down. You may not know this....but LL does have a sense of humor....so they gave him his first topic to run with....and sneers and giggles spread around the conference table. Fun was had by all. They chose this topic, to break him in....see what he was made of.....the other topics were old news, and the furors had calmed down. Give the guy a good one. Do it up right. Didn't want to send him home, feeling defeated over the weekend....so tossed in a Friday announcement, so they can all kick back around 3pm today.....and enjoy some light hearted ribbing and laughs during the TGIF Happy Hour. I remember a company where we did the same thing to a new guy/gal. It was loads of fun. |

I am still waiting for mine as well. I wonder if anyone at LL gave AU any warning about the timing of their announcement. I am visualizing a bunch of swedish people running around trying to put out the fires in their servers while others are desperately trying to connect more. ![]() http://www.crimespot.net/Spotted/Images/SwedishChefSmall.jpg |

You know, if that were true and they did all the stupid stuff for shits and giggles, I would have a lot more admiration for LL than just being incompetent boobs. _____________________

I've blogging about the RL/SL mixing stuff for the last two weeks. Ironic that about 5 minutes before I found out about the Avatars United purchase, I made this blog post along with a nice little poll:
Linking Second Life to Real Life - Feeling Poll-ish? So naturally I had to follow that up with: More on Linden Lab purchase of Enemy Unknown (Avatars United) Wallace could have save thousands of kilowatts of spent angst and brain energy if he had come clean to begin with. At least M clarified that there would be no "outing". |

If this was known, I would expect to see more Lindens signed up with complete profiles, especially Wallace. And according to the profiles, M Linden and Wallace Linden are not friends. |
