Is no one else perplexed by a multi-million dollar operation whose chief executive officer uses txt language like "LOL" in their official notices? Is Sue for real or just Jimbo's ditzy avatar.


Unlike Wikipedia, Second Life ... of which I know nothing ... apparently did do something to address adult content. Not that Cyn is going to get to go anywhere near effecting policy changes on the rabble.

What happened to that friend of Sue's that was doing the adult content review and it?

If you spend your waking hours on-line or are part of an organization that's based on-line, it tends to become engrained in your psyche. I've seen Sergey Brin doing it a lot more than once, for example, but you're not calling him 'ditzy'

For Wikipidiots to use WP as a Second Life, wouldn't they need a life to begin with?

I think most of them are still playing Half-Life.

i could do. Sergey Brin is ditzy ... hmmn, probably not. He has created a lot more to balance the personal indulgences and is probably a lot better geek/coder/mathematician than Sue.

Does he use it in official announcements without irony? I'd expect a ditzy secretary to be chided for doing so in a proper corp or NPO. Of course, the secretary could be a male, gay, black, Jewish AND ditzy. We operate a equal opportunities for all discrimination policy here.

I guess we will have to wait and see why Sue achieves but, really, what more to date is Sue doing than living off the free labor of others?

And now dragging in a load of similar minded web 2.0 or gamer cronies when what they really need is proper academic or editorial staff.

Good question. It seems to me that Sue is still a bit in awe of The Dear Leader and Greatest Friend of the Wiki Peoples, Comrade Jimbo. It does not appear to have dawned upon Sue yet that as CEO, it should be her prerogative to trigger the bell for an end to the applause, rather than being the head cheerleader of The Happy-Clappy Squad.

Cyn's LinkedIn profile lists Linden Labs (Second Life) as her "past" positions, with her own consultancy, "redexec", as the current company of 1. (She hasn't gotten around to updating with WMF yet.)

Anyway, here is what "redexec" does:



Why leave "redexec" to go work for the WMF?



So, Wikipedia may not be for "that girl in Africa", but at least it's for "that baby in San Francisco".

To get paid.

ha! cue ditzy lol.

Did he, like, twirl his hair around his finger while he was doing it?

No, but while at Stanford in 1998, he did post a list of his favorite books.

Now, that is what I would call a nerdy asshole. "Ditz" doesn't quite cover it.

At least he's covered the important stuff:

There is no reason any Wikipedian should use Second life, when clearly the prequel was a failure.

Hey, as a drama engine, Second Life is Wikipedia's peer:
Note the nerdslapfight over the Emerald Viewer recently.

Maple Story is pretty good - it's like Warcraft meets Hayao Miyazaki

Sorry but side-scrolling + more than two players = fail.

His use of "favourite" to describe a list that long is rather ditzy. And who's going to be the first person to edit his BLP to mention he lists Mein Kampf as one of his favourite books? Mind you, he likes The Communist Manifesto even more, as he lists it twice.
