Joey Seiler has a great post up with some industry reaction to Philip Rosedale changing his position at Linden Lab.

In my opinion, Philip and Linden Lab made a great decision here to bring in new management to help grow the company far beyond what it is now (and into what everyone hopes it will become).

I can’t imagine how hard this decision was for Philip to make. The man obviously LOVES the company, the product, and the environment. Second Life is without question his baby. I absolutely respect him for being able to recognize that new management was best for the company, and further to acknowledge that and act accordingly.

Many people I’ve spoken to previously have shared my concern about the future of Second Life given their experience with its direction and management over the last few years. The “Tao of Linden” and the “future workplace” seem inefficient for a team the size of Linden Lab, making it difficult for residents and developers to see concrete progress. This change in management gives me hope, and that hope makes the day to day problems with Second Life bearable again.

Thanks Philip.
