Integrated voice coming to 'Second Life'
http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/2100-3513_11-6162410.html
Second Life users who want to chat up those cute avatars across the virtual room can soon try to lure them over with voice rather than text. Next week Second Life publisher Linden Lab plans to unveil a small beta trial in which, for the first time, people will have access to integrated voice chat. The company plans to launch the beta for all users by the end of March, it said.
Until now, Second Life users wanting to communicate with one another have had two basic choices: text chat--either personal or in a group setting--or the use of a third-party voice application like Skype.
