Communications Breakdown or Rapid Growth Syndrome?

I posted a blog entry the other day about the Federal Consortium for Virtual Worlds Conference. That blog post changed from my original intent of covering the conference to a discussion about Second Life being ready for “prime time”, and the lack of communications coming out of Linden Lab on measures being take to address grid concurrency issues and server issues. This change was the result of a week of discussions on the SLED listserv on Second Life infrastructure, and how ready Second Life is to go “mainstream”.

So imagine my surprise today when scanning the past week’s posts on other blogs to find one at New World Notes dealing with the communications breakdown at Linden Lab. Here are two links (each with a lot of commenets):

• Communication Breakdown: 83% surveyed Residents report Poor/Mixed Linden-to-Resident communications
  
• Communication Breakdown, Addressed: Robin Linden responds
