emilia Avindar Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Announcement on LL corporate siteMost recently prior to joining Linden Lab, Altberg was COO of BranchOut. Prior to that, he was part of the executive team at Yahoo!, most recently as SVP of Media Products. His more than 25 years of experience managing teams that create world-class products and services also includes leadership roles at Ingenio (acquired by at&t Interactive) and Microsoft. And, as Strawberry Singh first announced on the trending wall, he is making some remarks and being welcomed on twitter. I think he has a friendly face, open and intelligent in a good way.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emilia Avindar Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Thanks, Perrie, Yes, I've followed it for a couple of weeks, but it seemed like a good time to start fresh. However, thank you for linking that thread, but personally I don't care to hear about Rod Humble anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A whole new thread may have been better. I hate trying to follow multiple threads on the same topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teagan Tobias Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 On twitter, really, on twitter, not on Second Life but on twitter, I have a really bad feeling about this one. I guess I'll never hear anything he has to say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy hasn't even officially started working here (until Monday) and seems to not even have a Linden name yet, making it highly unlikely that he'd be chatting it up here, even if he wanted to do so. ...Dres Edited for clarity.

Conifer Dada Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Following a link in the LL announcement about the new CEO, I looked at the LInden Lab website. Can you find any reference to Second Life on its homepage? http://lindenlab.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yet there were folks who though Ebbe should communicate on these forums. So silly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maelstrom Janus Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I dont think using some non sl based messenger is a good start personally... he should be posting here....I believe humble managed one post after pressure was applied.....

Venus Petrov Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Good grief. He hasn't even started officially. The announcement was made and he tweeted 'hello' and got alot of responses. So, you would rather he say nothing until after he gets an account. Right. Noted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand him being polite on the disaster in the waiting that is Twitter. I can understand him not wanting to get his entry lost amongst the five index pages of BollySpam. I can understand him not wanting to look like he's checking on Torley's minimal attempts to justify his salary in the Feeds. What I can't understand is him making an account on the oh-so-passé SLU forum and posting there. Maybe Rod, as a leaving gift, gave him some advice on how to alienate the mainstream users. © The Judge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Janus Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 So why cant he say whatever he has to say on the sl forum ??
