I tried VirtualUniverse and VLUniverse (as in Virtual Life ...) but the .com & .net were already taken.

But how about a play on words - VurtualUniverse.com or VUrtualUniverse.com (the VU is abbreviated VirtualUniverse)?

They look kinda funky, but they're both available.

I have a thought though. Doesn't posting urls here exponentially increase the chance that some bot will see them, think they're desired, and go register and squat the domains?

NetworkSolutions will also automatically hold domain names people look up through them for a few days for 'quality assurance' or something.

This site is a good safe look up - They don't "reserve" lookups - I've had no trouble using this to search for available domain names Instant Domain Check

Network Solutions used to be the 800 pound gorilla of domain name services. Does that still hold true, or is there something better now?

I have used Godaddy.com for my domains for a very long time - excellent service and options, and the pricing is fantastic too. I think they are pretty dominant in domain registrations now as well.

Shakes head.....
Just heard about this. ** shakes head **
Someone wasn't thinking when they set out the edict.

On their page about trademarks and the like they say some stuff that is pretty scary.

According to them we can not use the following in any display format.
Second life, second life, sl, Second-Life, SecondLife, 2nd Life, 2Life, Second Lifers, Linden Labs, Lindex, slurl, Lindenism

An amazing long list of words to copyright and register as a trademark. Lindenism?? 2Life? Linden Labs? (The company is called Linden Lab)

There is no way they can restrict the use of the letters "SL" in a domain name. It is sort of owned by Sierra Leone and um that country has been around lot longer than Second Life.

slip.com? slang.com? slnews.com? mysl.com? Secondlife.sl???? Are they legal? Yes!! My second life in Sierra Leone = secondlife.sl
SL can stand for Sri Lanka, Sierra Leone, Second Language, or even slrecords.net who have been around for over 10 years. Longer than £inden £ab.

Sierra Leone: Anti Corruption Commission: Integrity, Impartiality and Independence

God I want to see the cease and desist notice that they send to MicroSoft or the Australian government.

But it would seem that they are not just satisfied with domain names and branding on websites but also how we use their names in our text and footers.
