There should also be care taken in the way LL interfaces with its customers, in particular that the messages should not conflict and forward-facing LL employees who, after all, are part of the placeness, part of SL to us, should not be part of cost-cutting layoffs. There should be great deliberation in altering the world's rules and laws since that's what people build their plans upon. LL needs to be a company concerned with staying afloat in a harsh economy, but it would be more useful to customers if SL had some placeness to it, and wasn't just LL with a sheepskin tied on its back. There's a translation between LL and SL that isn't working at all, since the two identities are mixed up together. I wanted SL to be the 'place' that Philip said it aspired to be, if not for us then at least for someone, but it isn't that, either. After that I thought, 'I suppose making a nice place to work for employees is a worthy thing,' since I didn't want to see LL as just a company. Mary doesn't!' 'She's one of us.' Unfortunately, I loved SL but SL didn't love me back. Then it was like an adopted child finding out not only that he was adopted, but that, 'Well, Johnny, you are ten and it's time you began paying your way.' 'But. I used to think we were all one, so to speak, because I believed the hype (I know, I know). We can't know how necessary these cuts were, but it's probably safer to imagine them as crucial for survival. Unless LL is somehow sidestepping the problem rather than needing to fix it, I can't see how that will help anything. It's a potentially huge loss that Babbage, who must surely have a deep understanding of SL's intricacies, will likely be gone soon. It's an awful loss for SL, the place, that an elder statesman like Blue is gone, and I truly believe LL needs are very different from SL's and in fact can damage it. Until then LL needs to stay small, not compete with their customers, and work on grid stability and adding browser experiences. After the world is filled with people then businesses will want to come in.

Nowhere did I read that he disagreed with the direction and decisions of the past two years, and there's no point speculating, but he has the right brand of moonshine and fairy dust that SL needs right now.Īs I've said before I think SL's placeness (ritual, stability, repetition, continuity) should be fostered that will draw people as they will then be able to formulate plans and budgets. Of course, I'm glad he's back as he's the visionary. If the company is in trouble there's nothing that could equals that bang for the buck. I think fortunes can rise and fall due to customer mood and perception, so even if nothing else changes having Philip back will make make things a bit more prosperous. Single letter names shout out a big 'FU' to customers.
