<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">Le temp passé par les utilisateurs de Second Life est de 35 millions d’heures par mois,</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">“The Web has isolated us across language boundaries, but the 3D version of it won’t,” he said. ‘The presence of living people in the space means that we can cross language barriers.”</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">Ils annoncent le lancement d’une interface entièrement française d’ici un mois.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">Concernant OpenSim : “We’re trying to play a leadership role in those standards,” M Linden said.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">La plate-forme s’emploie actuellement à la suppression progressive des pollutions publicitaire (ad farm) sur le mainland</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana;">Il y a aussi une sérieuse remise en question et réflexions sur les zones d’aides et d’apprentissage (Help Island)</span></p>

<p>Last year marketers and many web pundits were buzzing about the potential of <a href="http://secondlife.com/">Second Life</a> to change everything from education to brand development. Much ink was spilled on the <a href="http://www.secretlair.com/index.php?/clickableculture/entry/harvard_business_review_on_avatar_based_marketing/">transformative value of 3-D avatars</a> and millions to be made within the Second Life ecosystem. Alas, the buzz didnt last and Second Life receded into relative obscurity (only 500K active users), behind Twitter, Facebook and an onslaught of Web 2.0 services.</p>
<p>In an effort to revive their dwindling fortunes the company has hired <a href="http://www.clickz.com/showPage.html?page=3624325">digital prognosticator</a> Mark Kingdon to be its new CEO. Mark is a former Pwc consultant who most recently headed up the interactive agency, <a href="http://organic.com/">Organic</a>. Mark will bring a wealth of ad industry relationships and marketing knowledge to the engineering focused company. Does this mean that Second Life will become yet another purveyor of ad network solutions for marketers? Lets hope not.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Il business legato a Second Life e alle attività dell’azienda che lo gestisce, Linden Lab, sta per prendere una nuova direzione. Il nuovo CEO, che sostituirà da maggio Philip Rosedale, è stato appena eletto e potrebbe davvero imprimere un corso differente allo sviluppo del mondo virtuale. Il compito di traghettare Second Life verso la sua seconda fase è stato attribuito a Mark Kingdon, che sembra avere tutte le carte in regola per vedere l’universo virtuale sotto una prospettiva del tutto innovativa.</p>
<p>Nel 2006 proprio Kingdon aveva scritto un pezzo su ClickZ in cui valutava positivamente la creazione di nuovi ambienti virtuali. A suo avviso sono tre le attività fondamentali che chiunque si occupi di business legati alle nuove tecnologie deve attualmente portare avanti.</p>
<ol>
<li>Prendere un ruolo attivo in tutto quello che sta nascendo, da MySpace a Facebook, da Second Life a tutto ciò che il Web 2.0 sta generando. Solo la partecipazione attiva, in sostanza, può permettere alle aziende di capire quali opportunità di business e di marketing si stanno preparando e come sfruttarle al meglio.</li>
<li>Investire del denaro in aggiornamenti continui sulle nuove tecnologie e sui nuovi prodotti e servizi che vengono realizzati. Soltanto così è possibile identificare quelli che davvero contengono delle potenzialità di mercato. Alla base di tutto c’è l’apertura mentale, che è l’unica chiave del successo.</li>
<li>Effettuare un continuo test delle nuove tecnologie in modo da valutare se possono avere successo e rappresentare delle occasioni per meglio affrontare il mercato. «Rendere il proprio ufficio un posto in cui le persone possono condividere ed esperire le tecnologie di cui si sente continuamente parlare» è una delle strategie che consentono alle imprese di tenersi sempre al passo con i tempi.</li>
</ol>
<p>In sostanza il Kingdon pensiero è estremamente proattivo e orientato all’innovazione. Lui stesso prima di essere reclutato da Rosedale alla guida di Linden Lab è stato dal 2001 CEO di Organic, una delle prime agenzie Web capaci di cavalcare l’onda del periodo di boom iniziale di Internet nei primi anni Novanta. Negli anni ’90 è stato partner della PricewaterhouseCoopers, grande azienda operante nel settore dei servizi professionali di revisione dei conti. La sua competenza sui nuovi business legati a Internet l’ha portato poi a scrivere regolarmente su ClickZ, uno dei portali informativi americani più importanti tra quelli specializzati nel business e nel marketing legato a Internet e alla new economy.</p>
<p>La scelta di Kingdon dovrebbe portare Linden Lab verso una migliore gestione del prodotto Second Life e di un rinnovamento delle politiche aziendali finora messe in campo. La crescita esponenziale del mondo virtuale e lo sviluppo continuo di nuove tecnologie ha rapidamente trasformato la piattaforma e le tecnologie associate. In questo senso la competenza di Kingdon potrà aiutare Linden Lab a confrontarsi con le nuove sfide imposte da un prodotto – Second life – sempre più complesso da trattare e da valorizzare.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yeap it has happened, well it will next month, Phillip Rosedale will be stepping down as CEO and stay on working on the things he is best at and hopefully turning over the more corporate type reigns over to Mark Kingdon, (M Linden, no I'm not kidding, the letter M).<code><br />
</code></p>
<p><a href="http://blog.secondlife.com/2008/04/22/announcing-our-new-ceo/">Here's a link to the Blog post announcing the choice.</a><code><br />
</code></p>
<p><a href="http://gridexpectations.wordpress.com/2008/04/23/i-met-m-linden-well-sort-of-lol/"><br />
Apparently M has ventured in-world and has sucessfully learned how to be a champion afk'er.  A promising start, to be sure.</a><code><br />
</code></p>
<p>And so what do I think?  I will wait and see, there is so much other stuff going on and changing in world, code wise, etc. I think honestly that any forecasting we might attempt will fall short.  This is an entirely new dynamic I suspect, and as always, things won't be dull.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tal como dissemos <a href="http://portucalis.wordpress.com/2008/03/14/philip-rosedale-deixa-o-cargo-de-ceo-da-linden-labs/">aqui</a>, Philip Rosedale demitiu-se do cargo de CEO da Linden Lab em Março e a empresa estava à procura de um novo CEO.</p>
<p>De acordo com a <a href="http://secondlife.reuters.com/stories/2008/04/22/linden-lab-picks-online-marketing-executive-as-ceo/">Reuters</a>, o novo CEO chama-se Mark Kingdon e é um guru do marketing on-line e também gamer (aparentemente terá jogado WoW durante uns tempos).</p>
<p>Deixo-vos a transcrição da biografia do novo Deus Linden (em inglês que já é tarde e eu estou com sono).</p>
<p>Vamos ver quais os destinos que a Linden Lab irá dar ao mundo dos LoL agora com sangue novo ao leme.</p>
<p><em>Mark Kingdon joined Organic as CEO in 2001 and has led the company to its current position as a leading digital marketing agency. Prior to Organic, Mark worked for Idealab and provided strategic guidance to emerging companies. Earlier, he was a partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers, where he led the America's retail and distribution industry practice and managed the PWC and Lybrand merger and was a leader in the e-business practice globally. Mark is a member of the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences and serves as a Webby judge. He's also a regular contributor to Three Minds, Organic's blog. Mark received his MBA from the Wharton School of Business and a BA in Economics from UCLA. </em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The search for a new CEO is over as Linden Lab announced the appointment of Mark Kingdon to the position, and residents watched for smoke in the upper window and the choosing of a name, much like the anointing of a Pope, it's just too bad he's, well, M Linden, I rather like Marcus Voom (who mysteriously I believe is on my friend's list, must have been that beach party with the 8 foot avatar dressed as a, um...I digress).</p>
<p>Mark, or M, who is expected to soon name Kate Linden Agent 005 Linden and Sidewinder will become 006 Linden, with Philip Rosedale becoming 007, which is the same as Chair, murmured the right noises in his <a href="http://secondlife.reuters.com/stories/2008/04/22/linden-lab-picks-online-marketing-executive-as-ceo/">interview with Reuters</a> about the failures of big brands in 2007...</p>
