    Actually, I thought that Linden Lab was going to pass on banning the Emerald Second Life viewer. After Lonely Bluebird killed the Emerald viewer project, it seemed like no further action was necessary. Well, it looks like the other shoe has actually dropped and the Lab is going to go ahead with it anyway. I’ve been thinking some more and reading some of your own thoughts about the position that Linden Lab is advertising for a Senior Client Manager. Well, after some reflection I think that there’s definitely a strong case for doing this (though admittedly, there’s probably an even stronger case for doing it four or five years ago). Linden Lab’s got two positions hiring at the moment. Let’s look at the most interesting one: the Senior Client Manager. Max Kleiber dropped a comment just a few minutes ago that really gave me pause for some thought. Linden Lab has a new vice-president of Marketing (though no word as to whether she’ll be working in the Lab’s marketing headquarters in Amsterdam as yet). Much is being made of the fact that she’s late of Activision-Blizzard. As customers or service users, our past experiences and our beliefs about a company, its support, products and services are frequently more important than the present actualities. Why? Because it’s what we believe to be true that drives our decisions, rather than what is actually true. You know, I’m not sure that you can. The more I dig into this, the less I think so. Or at least, not without a whole heck of a lot more work.
The somewhat ironic result here, is that if Linden Lab had not made this special deal with Emerald, it is likely that Emerald would still be around today. Lyons (whom I believe was the QA person for the Emerald viewer team) has resigned, and also revealed the final two requirements that the Emerald viewer must meet by Friday this week. Lyons declares the viewer to be functionally dead.
