Second Life has slipped into the online world pretty seemlessly, with conferences now adding Second Life dimensions to the real life. Instead of being this new, wild and crazy thing, it’s gained widespread acceptance — I think, at least.

Well, now there is even more to Second Life. A new VoIP product called SLim breaks the VoIP barrier to the other dimension. Not only can Second Lifers communicate with each other, but they can communicate with others on the outside by using SLim.

According to BetaNews:

Linden Labs encourages businesses to set up virtual workplaces and showrooms in Second Life, and hopes the addition of voice communication will enrich that. Currently, however, voice communication is only on a one-to-one basis.
