Nice little clip, thanks. Contrary to the typical “Linden Lab(R) Sucks” mentality of some folks - many of whom may not be business owners - the recent changes in management structure actually signal something positive in LL’s direction. They have taken the appropriate steps of appointing a more corporate CEO, identified what needs to be done, and set their sights on future growth. The IBM partnership is not just a pie-in-the-sky but a real response to the need for growth. Acquisitions and partnerships are a standard strategy for accelerated growth, which is what LL is doing.
I’m sure the nay-sayers will continue to poo-poo anything that LL does, but from a business perspective, “doing” is to be commended above “planning to do something.”
