My job is similar in the fashion that test data really doesn't compare to real-life data. But you can piggy back this data a lot of the times and synthetically inject it into a test environment so you can control the situations. This is where I don't understand how they're doing their testing. Of course, without more communication, who would really know how they're testing anyways. We just see the end results. And we don't like what we see, and some of us that happen to be in similar industries see similar problems that we have already conquered and moved on while LL still struggles. That's basically the point I'm trying to make. I’ll mention that I do know where Linden is coming from for the Beta Grid.

Seems like it would have been better -- and if this was available I missed it -- to offer up the stream of the event for rebroadcasting. We would have carried a rebroadcast with permission and then allow a representative from each area to seed questions back to the event moderator. They did something like this when Dean Koontz was in SL and it worked really well for allowing a large number of people to be involved at one time. Something they will hopefully think about in the future. Good post, Darius.
