SL Join Date: 5/13/2006 | The wording is very odd to me... Sometime in the future he will step down? I need to know when it's time to be officially super sad.

| For anyone with a financial interest in SL, this is a major red flag. I am not saying the end is near, but I'd watch the management decisions very closely from here on out. A CEO stepping down is never a sign that the company is thriving and doing well financialy.

How is moving from "Bumbling Moron" to possibly "Effective Management" a red flag? | |

I have heard rumor that LL has had it's book out on the streets for about a year now, seeing what type of offers they get. I would not be very surprised if this some how leads to an our-right buyout. Often companies will bring in a new CEO with experience in such a thing to orchestrate a sale. Now that I think of it, I believe this happened with REAL. | |

Business: Peregrine Salon | Philip is a visionary - Linden Lab has grown big enough that it needs a more traditional executive and management style. This was hinted at during his SLCC keynote - that Linden has to stop being so much of a "lab" and more of a "business." I wish him the best of luck, and hope this will lead to more stability! Regards, -Flip

| This should have happened a few years ago already. I'm not surprised in the least bit that it happened though to be honest I never thought he would actually ever agree to it and do it. Heres hoping for the best. I agree it can be a red flag for the company being on shaky ground, but it also can be the first step in the right direction for LL. |

| Wow... First thought:Makes good sense. Rosedale isn't leaving, he'll still be chairman and work at LL day to day. But they'll be bringing in someone whose specialty is running a company, not developing new technology, and that is overdue. But ... damn. End of an era. I talked to Rosedale once. I remember how genuinely enthused he was about the company and how he wanted to hear ideas on how to make it a better place - even from me, a "nobody." I can't help but personally like the guy, despite the faults in LL management. I hope the transition is a smooth one - for him and us. |
