Second Life’s New CEO Ebbe Altberg. A Man [Robot] Of His Word? - p4

Search @EbbeAltberg on Twi er and you
will see an explosion of responses to his
work and interac ons such as, "thank
you for listening to open the JIRA back
up. So far, your decisions have made the
S L Community regain trust in
@LindenLab" (by @neddings), and
"Could it be? Mr. Altberg's promises of
transparency are real? JIRA is open
again! If pa ern con nues, SL may be
back on track" (by @michilumin). These
are just two of many similar comments
and we invite you to find him on Twi er
(@EbbeAltberg) and take a look.

Ebbe himself invites all "comers" to
interact with him on Twi er directly! As
a ma er of fact, his twi er page is chock
full of his responses to resident's
technical issues and ques ons and proof
of his actually reading things through,
seeking out answers internally, repor ng
issues and responding as though he were
a tech support guy. When's the last me
you ever saw any corporate CEO do that?
Wow, how refreshing!
There's just one @EbbeAltberg Twi er
post that does not show up retweeted on

his feed, to which we are s ll wai ng on a
response, “@EbbeAltberg exci ng to see
customers ma ering to #SecondLife
again! Thanks Ebbe! You Rock! So, plans
on addressing the huge TOS debate?” (by
@IamFilipaT)

It would seem that there are some things
Ebbe has not yet had a chance to lay his
magic upon just yet. Here's hoping its
temporary and that when the me is right
it will change. We did find it interes ng
though, that our new CEO appears very
open in his statements regarding the
problems between LL and its customers:
“@ shcoronet @LaskyaClaren
@rivenhomewood And we are underserving consumers now. Balance is off a
b i t . N o t e a s y e n o u g h .” ( b y
@ebbealtberg).

In the mean me, I think it's important to
note here, that those of us who are not in
the corporate food chain will never know
everything that is going on behind closed
doors. It is very likely that there are some
huge plans in the works that, un l they
are ready or the ming is appropriate, will
not be made public but that may ju
