How long will Wallace Linden Last?

Will Wallace outlast Katt?

Is he in it to win it, or will he be trampled under by the LL?

What's a Wallace Linden? <.<

I knew that question would be asked and was prepared.

Wallace! =->https://blogs.secondlife.com/community/features/blog/2010/01/14/hello-second-life

He'll last past the end of this forum, at which point the question will be moot. Besides, as the designated Corporate Shill/Cheerleader, he fits right in with the LL master plan.

Maybe we should start the "Where's Wallace?" cliche mantra now... <.<

One of Phil's new bots.

For as long as Gromit Linden keeps him out of trouble?

We're just a stop on the itinerary.

I give him 6 months before the corporate koolaid wears off and he starts crying, because the residents are mean, mean, horrible people who type horrible things about Linden Labs.

I say that he will be cool and buy a Lotus.

I bet he already owns one!

/me will come back later and vote after he does his blog about the forums...

Won't happen. They will see to it that the only official channels of communication will be full of shiny, happy people.

Speaking of which, your pickup on his comment about "LL, the residents, and the people they are trying to reach" was a good one. It could be a very telling bit.

Yes, but those will all work for Linden Lab, you see. They'll be very high on the koolaid.

*That* Phil left the building so he can't be one of his bots.

TY. That or it could be a typo. He's a bit heavy on the marketingspeak buzzwords for me but I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt for now.

But tf they really do shoot these forums, it will be clear that LL doesn't give a crap about interacting with us or doing what we ask for. For the new blogrums, what's clear is that most people think they suck. I haven't given up hope yet that they're going to do the right thing.

How long he lasts might depend on whether or not likes popcorn. What was Katt's last post? She posted something that would be contorversial and sat back to eat popcorn

I'm going to recommend you for this year's Nobel Prize for Optimism.

Exactly. Whatever non Linden voices appear, they will be essentialy fanbois, syncophants and lackeys. All dissent will be relegated to 3rd party venues, which will easily be ignored and dismissed as "lunatic fringe" or plain old troublemakers.

He made his position actualy quite clear in the flog:

- so it's not about a two-way communication improvement with the 'residents' via forums or flog, but acquiring 'new cusomers' via FB and Twitter.

"Yes, my job is actually in the marketing department, not the community department, which should help explain this a bit."

Yes, yes it does.

What a freakin' joke. -.-

Since he used to write for the herald, I'm sure he's made of sterner stuff.

Briana you should know better, where's the pie option?

One of Wally's first moves will be to ban all references to pie in all official communications.

If he wears mechanical pants, he will get my vote.


But seriously: given the "conversation MANAGER" and "marketing, not communication" and "LL, the residents, AND THE PEOPLE THEY ARE TRYING TO REACH" clues,

... the true answer is probably "he will last as long as LL feels he's effective in hiding/maginalizing dissenting voices from The People We Are Trying To Reach."
