I haven’t really posted up my thoughts on the whole trademark issue with the whole inSL™ thing. Sure I have podcasted about it (Podmafia Podcast Episode 41 with Crap Mariner) but that was before the clarification was released on April Fools Day (good timing LL).
So, I personally haven’t changed a thing to the StuartWarf.com blog as of yet even though a clarification was released because I am lazy and quite frankly annoyed since I have to go through 300ish posts to check.
As for SLPN (SL Podcast Network) We have changed a few things around like the Second Life Newscast will be changed to MetaNews Weekly (some other cool stuff about that will be happening real soon. I just need to finish some things off) and have submitted the site for the inSL™ on Tuesday. So far they haven’t sent me an email back saying “We don’t like some of the stuff you have, can you change it please etc.)
Personally I don’t think the lindens will sue the bloggers and podcasters because we are probably their biggest promoters. But business that clearly infringe on the Second Life virtual world will need to either change what they are doing quickly or probably face a Cease and Desist letter.
I think the bloggers need to stop worrying because I really doubt they are a threat to the trademarks and all that legal jazz that Linden Research® owns.

Better late than never I guess…
Last Monday at Podcast Island the monthly Podcasters Meetup happened. Now I never really go to the meetup but I felt compelled to this time round because Cali Lewis was scheduled to appear…
But due to a scheduling cock-up that didn’t happen. I still ended up going though and we had a different topic come up.
During the discussion a big issue we discussed was how content is enjoyed in the new media age. For some reason I personally prefer using audio based podcasts to video. Why?
For the same reason as Crap Mariner
It takes up less space on my iPod touch and I can listen to it wherever I go. The only thing that really annoys me about the SLCN shows is that I feel like I have to watch it. I would prefer it if a lot of those shows were in audio. The only things that video seemingly works on SLCN is for the sports like “Sail On” and “SLascar Racing”. I should note that I am not really attacking SLCN’s method because after all…I am the “Chief Architect” of the Second Life PODCAST Network which is all about Audio.
Alot of the discussion was about SLPN (mostly cos all of the SLPNcasters were there)
Sure Video killed the Radio Star but does the same apply to podcasts that can be taken anywhere.
Anyway, it’s time for some PHOTOS
Remind me to go to more of the meetups because I really enjoyed this meetup.
AND a final note… the StuartWarf.com site is currently going under a change, just like the Podmafia site. I want to finish off and fine tune all of my website first though, because it will be the easiest to do. However, I want to eventually tag every one of my 450+ blog entries… that will take probably a year
