In Sunday's Metaversed Podcast I dismissed Project Open Letter, a complaint from long time Second Life residents about persistent problems such as inventory loss in Linden Lab's virtual worlds as just a "gripe fest". It seems that despite that, the move to pressure Linden into action is gaining steam as more and more residents sign the petition and major news outlets cover the story. See CNet and Reuters amongst the large, and growing list of Second Life bloggers.
I still think it's whiney, but im impressed with the traction it's getting, and I do sympathize, at least a little, with the cause.
