Linden Lab CEO: more staff to improve usability

December 3, 2008 By Lowell Cremorne

Linden Lab CEO Mark Kingdon updated the masses on a new appointment to the team. Howard Look is a former VP, Software at Pixar and has been charged with improving the “customer-facing part of the Second Life experience”.

There’s certainly been no shortage of recruitment announcements from Linden Lab – what’s yet to come is the benefits of the increased staffing. I think most Second Life residents have given up on 2008 showing significant usability improvements. 2009 looks a little more promising.

    Look has a long history of working on cutting edge design teams, and I have no doubt whatsoever that he will deliver some imaginitive and ingenuitive things for SL residents.

  • What the?

    He recently left Pixar? (you must ask yourself why anyone would leave Pixar to go to Linden Research)
    He was part of the Tivo team? (if that UI is indicative of what this guy has in mind – pffft!)
    A SGI guy from way way back.
    SGI = Failure!

    M Linden and his “cheers” is just more of the same BS we’ve come to expect from these clowns. M – want some advice? Fix your organisation, sort out your Goverance Team and whilst your at it – pull your head out of your ass with regard to this commercialism speak you put out on the 2nd Life blog!
