Reuters reporter to withdraw from Second Life

Sep 30th 2008 2:38PM His perspective will be missed, but there are a growing number of independent views in-world (including yourself) that provide other perspectives.
Sure, the Reuters name perks up some ears, but then who ever heard of Matt Drudge or Pervez Hilton before they sparked?
Time will tell.
BigPond launches customer service center in Second Life

Sep 1st 2008 10:35AM Still a bit confused what they're doing in there.
"Hi, how can I help you?"
"I can't connect to the Internet."
"Um... then how can you get into SL?"
(Yeah, I know... they also do hosting/servers.)
Linden Lab staff gagged? Unable to post to official blog

Aug 27th 2008 10:35AM http://twitter.com/slgridstatus is still rolling smoothly, so I wouldn't say all time-critical posts are bottlenecked by the mystery communications issue, if it exists.
Linden trademark for credit cards

Linden Lab hires Resident Communications Manager
Massively
Apr 2nd 2008 12:03PM I'm hoping that Katt engages the community and leverages the assets that blogs with wide readership and different perspectives can bring to the table.
I guess we'll see if they scour sites for feedback when people post without cc:ing the various LL addresses, hunt down hot topics in forums to hand off to their fellow Lindens for review, etc.
But, yeah, failing to effectively communicate that there's a new Communications person... will Irony Linden be the new CEO?
New Ruths for old?

Mar 30th 2008 8:54AM Mark my words - they'll bring back the old Ruth and re-label her Ruth Classic.
(At least they're not spending millions having Bill Cosby endorse this ill-fated change like Coke did.)
The Daily Grind: Should free/trial accounts get less support?
Massively
Mar 26th 2008 9:29AM Yeah, top-level customers in (two-letter abbreviation) already get Concierge level... but I think that Premium account holders ought to get some level of service better than the freebies but less than the top-level folks.
Many phone systems that support departments use have the ability to queue calls based on looking up accounts via caller ID and determining status of that customer. Takes a bit of programming, but can be done. Surprised they don't have that in place already.
Aside from being able to own land in Lagland.. I mean Mainland, no real practical benefits to being Premium.
Does cutting the free help-me-nows discourage new users from continuing? Maybe the ones who are generally helpless or clueless and can't RTFM on their own to solve issues... and from a resident standpoint, do you really want those stumbling around, clogging up the pipes?
Or is shouting "n00b!" is meant as a positive thing and not a slur? ;)
It's got it's own key on the keyboard, people: F1. It's a beautiful, shiny key... probably mint condition, too, seeing how rarely most people use it.

WAIT! WHAT? HUH?
Okay, so I'm just learning this Machinima thing. Just got Fraps and I'm still learning how to navigate around, so I figured I'd let folks track my progress until I give up and let you, The Grand Champion of SL Machinima, reign supreme.
(Or maybe I'll just keep making lousy movies so y'all can use them as examples of How Not To Make Machinima)
Happy New Year!
