San Francisco, CA (AHN) - Cory Ondrejka, the 26-year-old chief technology officer of virtual-reality site Second Life, resigned Thursday. Ondrejka's departure followed differences with the CEO of Linden Labs, owner of Second Life.
In a statement, Linden Labs CEO Philip Rosedale said the company and the role of technology chief is changing. "Cory abd I are in agreement that our paths, at this point at least, lie in different directions," Rosedale said.
According to the AP, Second Life users have experienced technical problems impacting users, including security.
Ondrejka, a Navy vet, rose to the No. 4 spot at Linden Labs and pioneered the introduction of virtual property and sales by Second Life users of possessions, including real estate, for real money. Source: allheadlinenews.com
