:Doleo: Bye, Bye Mark. It Is About Damn Time!!
The day I leave for a long weekend vacation on June 24th with no laptop and access to my RSS feeds, I come home to discover the most wonderful news any patron of 2nd Life could get:
Mark Kingdon has stepped down as CEO at Linden Labs and Philip Rosedale is back at the helm.
Long live Philip!! Don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out Mark!!
Linden Labs and 2nd Life have not faired well in the two years of Mark’s tenure as CEO. Many, including myself, feel his greed and desires to move away from Philip’s original founding vision for 2nd Life have cost Linden Labs and the patrons residing and working in-world dearly. Most recently… This was seen directly in the 30% workforce reduction at Linden Labs. Hopefully, Philip’s return will restore the old vision and pull Linden Labs and 2nd Life out of the chaos created by Mark.
