Philip Rosedale is the founder and CEO of Linden Lab, the company that produces the massively multiplayer online game Second Life. (Within Second Life, he is perhaps better known as Philip Linden.) Rosedale has a BS degree in Physics from the University of California, San Diego, and is known for his contributions to the development of streaming media and for having been the CTO of RealNetworks after they bought his company, FreeVue, in 1996.

Rosedale has stated that his goal with Second Life is to demonstrate a viable model for a virtual economy or virtual society. In his own words, "I'm not building a game. I'm building a new country.".[1]
