Next on Copper Robot our guest will be Linden Lab chief product officer Tom Hale. I’ll talk with Tom about Viewer 2.0, and Linden Lab’s plans for Second Life in the springtime and beyond. Join us!
WHEN: Wednesday, March 31, 6 pm Pacific/Second Life Time
WHERE: The lovely Copper Robot Theater, World2Worlds Island in Second Life, or watch the live video on the Web, or listen to the podcast afterward.
As chief product officer, Tom, known in Second Life as T Linden, drives product strategy for Linden Lab, reporting directly to CEO Mark Kingdon (M Linden).
Tom joined the company in September, 2008. Prior to joining Linden Lab, he worked 15 years in product development, marketing, and management, most recently serving as “entrepreneur-in-residence”" at Redpoint Ventures. Before that, he was vice president and general manager at Adobe Systems’ Knowledge Worker Business Unit, driving strategy for Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Connect, and Flash Media Server.
Tom is a Harvard man, but despite that disadvantage, he seems to have done well for himself in life. I myself went to the State University of New York at Stony Brook, but I try not to be snobby about it.
We’re going to try something a little different this time: We’re using Twitter for backchannel discussion and questions during the event. Use the hashtag #CopBot. Also, we’ll continue using Second Life chat for comments and questions as well.
