Forgotten Histories?
Last night JeanRicard Broek posted this on his excellent blog where he covers both architecture in Second Life and a range of other news. Shortly after I followed the link, he was also on the phone to me via Skype, keen to let me know what he was digging up.
In his newly-fashioned role as online investigator he pointed out that there are a number of other wikis and other sources which tell more about the history of Linden Labs than their public sites care to cover. There’s a lot of food for thought, but these are the main points he raised with me.
It seems a group called "Reality Prime" are more responsible for Second Life technology than Lindens ever publicise. It may also be the case that a number of long-time industry stalewarts have financial holdings that will be influencing Philip Linden’s future decisions more than is realised and that the cross-connections with other major corporations may be substantial. There may also be far more to Corey’s recent departure than meets the eye.
Check out the link below and you will see some indication of what JeanRicard has been looking into. As an industry veteran of some decades standing, one can assume he is onto something. Use the less-than-obvious links to find out more.
