Shooting ones’ self in the foot
Posted by Siobhan Taylor under Blogging, Second Life, Virtual WorldsRemember “Your world, your imagination™”? Well, now the company-that-must-not-be-named has decreed that their laggy little bug-riden world must not be mentioned by us lowly bloggers. Or maybe not. The problem seems to be that nobody is quite sure where they stand on this right now.
Many people are talking about this all over the blogsphere, from famous bloggers like Vint Falken and Codebastard Redgrave to … well, you won’t have to search very hard to find them.
Basically, there are all sorts of rules and regulations now about what you can and cannot say. About logos and when and where you can (or can’t) use them and so on and so forth. I may even have to change the name of my blog. Maybe they just don’t need all the free advertising any more. Who knows.
Funny thing. What’s not easy to find is their own information on this “inSL” scheme of theirs. For the record, it’s here.

I wonder if all those fan groups (like on livejournal and lots of other social networking sites) will suddenly need to change there names?
Even if there were a ™ symbol for texting, that is extra characters you do not have room for if you use Twitter.
Maybe we should just call ourselves TMers now?
