Yesterday, Philip Linden (AKA: Philip Rosedale ) stepped down as CEO of Linden Labs (yes again). Bob will lead Linden Lab while we conduct the search. He said many longtime Second Life users are angry at the recent decisions by the company that runs the service, Linden Lab. He has done this before and then come back.

Although Linden Labs disputs that finding. Sure the technology works but its not productive or fun with one person. Once you put in several hours flailing around learning how to function in Second Life, there isn't much to do." However, what these complaints reveal is that the people getting into Second Life don't understand it.
