I sit down with James for a beer on a Saturday afternoon recently and here’s our conversation. This is the first part where we talk about his book, who he is, his role with Linden Labs, and more.

Jim McNiel, CEO, and Steve Repetti, CTO of Fifth Generation Systems, dropped by my table at the Web 2.0 Expo to show off a very cool Web site tool called Zude.
