He got out, the exact reasons unknown, but they let him keep his board seats while paying him some management fee. IMHO this speaks poorly about his interest in the Balderton-backed companies where he sits as board member, as his involvement with them is likely to fall to zero.

What kind of value creation are these people engaged in besides building yet another high-tech comic book? Will there be.a subprime crisis in the Twinity world?

What kind of value creation are these people engaged in besides building yet another high-tech comic book?

Will there be.a subprime crisis in the Twinity world?

How nice it is that the VP of community dev is out answering questions on blogs? +1. In my review the other month, I pitted it against Second Life, perhaps unfairly so. SL has been around awhile and has different design goals. I think it is telling that the young Twinity beta felt more stable than SL, albeit less versatile at this stage. I mean, what version is SL on now? 19? :) The common criticism of SL (stability aside) is that the learning curve for newbies is prohibitively high. Twinity, not so much. Still a bit wonky, but plenty of time to iron that out. Maybe it's time for another review. <3 Hi, I’m the second reviewer linked in the article.
