**NEWSFLASH** Linden Lab Prepares for "Significant Milestone"

[Ingrid Ingersoll]

This just in... Patch Linden, Suburban Overlord at Linden Lab has stated that the organization is getting ready for a "significant milestone". We reached out for further comments from the lab, but were told everyone was at a Tony Robins seminar. 

We have no idea what this "significant milestone" could be.

I thought the 20th Birthday WAS the milestone.  Now I'm confused.  🤔

Exactly what I thought, too.

Ditto!

Ditto also.

But, now looking at how Patch worded it:    "LOTS (means more than 1) of projects going on, we're getting ready for a significant milestone, AND (and could mean also) preparing a very large celebration with SL20B."

Is it sad that my default reaction is .. lets just wait and see before getting excited.

I really want a big win, really really. Just a "hey this is great for Second Life, that place I have spent 17 years loving" .. but wow have there been so many disastrous side quests over the years.

At least he didn't say soon™

TBF I could have been reading it wrong when he typed "and". Two separate things? Or related? Either way, I'm bored at the office right now.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking that he meant "and also".  Typing in a hurry possibility or he wants it to be a bit mysterious.

It's probably the mobile viewer.  One could get a phone with little ponies on it.  Oh my gah, 18 teeners coming to SL.  Lots and lots of them and they probably has phones with little ponies on them.

Wouldn't have to be a teen to appreciate that especially with summer almost here and liking to sit outside while still being logged inworld.

What appreciate ponies on the phone?  True, that people of all ages could.  Just reminds me of my daughter with ponies everything and she is an adult now.

The part where you implied that a mobile viewer would appeal to teens with phones and ponies.

Oh, no, with mobile viewer it will/could be lots of people.  I was just joking about the ponies. 

 I've already said in a post on the forum there are an estimated 6.5 billion people on cell phones and this is a huge untapped market for SL.  I think median age will be 30 somethings though that's just a guess.

Yes it would be quite a milestone worthy of the name if and when the Lab trots out a functional mobile viewer.

[Kimmi Zehetbauer]

I'm just concerned if down the road the Lab went mobile only with SL. I've seen a few MMOs go mobile only.

[Love Zhaoying]

Maybe it was a typo, and we're just getting a new millstone to carry around?

I think that's what the "significant milestone" is - a mobile viewer.  That will be quite a milestone for SL.  

The ponies on the cell phones comments from me was because Alwin said that the significant milestone is "we finally get our pony".
