Business: The Rooke's Nest  | 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.

Heaven, to keep its beauty,
cast them out, but even Hell
itself would not receive them
for fear the wicked there
might glory over them.
| Can the future of SLU be gritty and all post-apocalyptic? In that case,everyone would look good in tight leather!

Business: MagoTek Industries | 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?

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

My Mood:  | 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. EasySL - Home Microsoft Dynamics SL Home Page Silver Lake College Home | State Library of New South Wales http://www.ircbp.sl/ 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. This is OK: the Second Life® virtual world the Second Life® world Second Life® residents the SL™ community an SL™ account Linden™ dollars the LindeX™ exchange a SLurl™ link This is NOT OK: a Second Life my Second Life your Second Life Second Life's Second Lives Second Lifing Linden Labs Just so we are clear. Linden Lab® Second Life® WindLight® Are the Registered names. As such we are meant to add the ® just after the word phrase just as above. The TradeMarks are Linden™ LindeX™ Second Life Grid™ SL™ SL Grid™ SLurl™ Teen Second Life™ TSL™ Your World. Your Imagination.™ Slippery slope to jump on. Residents are depressed enough with the antics of the company to now try and hit us with this. Start referring to them as $econd £ife and £inden £ab? Seems appropriate.. I see it as a lot of hot air. They do not need more ill will and alienation of their residents. Surprised that they didn't trademark the alphabet.  Interesting that for part 4 they allow the name with out the ® ™ OMG what about all those sites that use the word second or the number 2 (brought to you by the happy folks of Sesame Street)? Doesn't that infinge. OOO and Life magazine I guess they need to close. What an absolute joke and farce. Last edited by Jamie David; 05-13-2008 at 08:58 AM. |

Business: Peregrine Salon | Jamie, they made it clear that they mean "within the context of virtual worlds" - if you're not talking about virtual worlds, it is a whole different ball game. That said, it is still a ton of work to switch my domains over - SLTrivia.com, SLGuide.com and SLPTO.com are all going away. |
