I agree and further, I'd posit that it may not really matter in the large
scheme of things that LD the division has S@H (LSAH) the org in its org chart
but for branding reasons LD the brand is separate from S@H the brand.
Who cares really? I just want to know how to get input about what bulk
elements to sell next into whoever is set up to evaluate it. In the large
scheme of things it's about as important as the distinction between Coke, New
Coke and Coke II. No one really cares except the persnickety. Get the details
right and *make* the lawyers do the right thing but don't let it stop progress.
And to Todd's deeper point that LD the consumer outreach and community
building entity is competition to Lugnet? You bet it is. But not to worry.
Just keep producing features faster than they can and you'll have nothing to
worry about. Make sure they're features we really need and that they're user
friendly, though, not just that they match your vision of how things need to
be... you can be right about that and still wrong anyway.
The same point about competition is true for all the other great things that
have come about lately that are in competition with Lugnet because they
implement all or part of the vision faster or better. The slashdot clone died
off, but Brickshelf, BrickBay, and BrickSet are all realising all or part of
the Lugnet vision. Competition is good. It means we the fan community get
things faster, one way or another. Compete or die. More importantly, move FAST
or get coopted.
The world (online and off (1)) we AFOLs live in is way way richer than it was
2 years ago, that's for sure. Ain't it grand?
1 - The clubs, the fests, the brikwars gaming, and stuff I am forgetting about
all are stuff that has come about recently, due in part to online synergy...
awesome.
