It is my understanding of the nominative use the labs permits with TOS requires the first occurrence of the product name (You used it as the third and fourth words) have the ® symbol, thereafter you are free to use those two words free of such encumbrances.

The only exception to this is if you include the "The Second Life® World" in your byline and your blog is substantially or in whole dedicated to Second Life®

I believe you are breaking the TOS Tateru, be careful you are not banned!

Actually, Nominative Use has no such requirement that we're aware of -- just as you don't see the first use of a trademark in a newspaper specially marked.

That aside, our own usages conform to the style guidelines passed down from management and legal, and we're expected to stick to them until we're told to do differently. In that we're rather fortunate ... it is simply not our problem for the moment.

Our sinister army of zombie lawyers will tell us what to do if and when they decide something different needs to be done.
