Philip Rosdale

We’re excited to announce that Philip Rosedale (SL: Philip Linden) will be giving a keynote address on Saturday morning at the Second Life Community Convention! Philip recently returned as interim CEO after Mark Kingdon stepped down in July, and we expect that he’ll address the company’s future direction and Linden Lab’s “return to the basics” of improving the core Second Life experience. In a recent post on the Second Life blogs, Philip talked frankly about addressing Resident’s concerns. “We need to get back to being the first to invent and deliver the solutions that evolve virtual worlds,” said Rosedale, “We are still at the beginning of a huge market.” Rosedale’s speech will be delivered in world and simultaneously webcast to attendees of the Second Life Community Convention in Boston on Saturday morning, August 14th, at 8AM EST/5AM PST.

Grokking the Grids

OSGrid loses regions,
"The top 40 public grids lost 20% of their reported area this past month — from 11,717 to 9,343 regions – due to summer cleaning at OSGrid. The largest OpenSim-based grid lost more than a third of its land area, falling from 7,530 to 4,962 regions as grid administrators cleared inactive regions off the books.

Cheat sheet for Viewer 2
My theory: Viewer 2.x is a puzzle game in which we are supposed to find the hidden keys. In most games, the tricks open trunks, gates, or doors. In Viewer 2.x, the keys allow experienced users to do the things we are accustomed to doing in viewer 1.x, only with more difficulty.

OnLive Promotes Itself, LEGO, and their Harry Potter™ game
Would Second Life want this kind of promotion?

The promotion needs to fit the product, of course. And the value of promoting in OnLive will depend on the demographics and interests of the audience. But we already have a good idea of the demographics and interests of the audience.
