What types of SL-related blogs Phillip Linden reads
In an interview by Prokovy Neva with Linden Labs CEO Phillip Linden the following exchange takes place regarding Second Life related blogs (emphasis mine):
Prokofy: How do you plan on keeping in touch with the “pulse of the nation” now that forums are closing?
Philip: By being in-world, reading and writing in the Linden Blogs, reading the various user-created newspapers, and possibly by reading user-run blogs. I will probably only do the latter if they somehow are built in a way or around a community that can convey a more balanced tone, and that is a hard challenge.

Interesting, if you want the big cheese at Linden Labs to read your Second Life blog make sure you mix in SL-love with the SL-diss. Perhaps we should have an SL Dissometer to determine proper SL balance for this blog. In some respects I see Phillip’s point, but the CEO should be reading a diverse number of voices about Second Life, not only what he deems balanced commentary.
More than anyone at Linden Labs I think the CEO needs to read what the customers think is wrong with Second Life.
