LINDEN LABS said it will add voice to the virtual Second Life world so that inhabitants won't need to IM each other but can chat as well.

The firm said that voice will help resident groups like educational establishments and businesses who use Second Life for learning and training.

The possibilities are, of course endless, and possibly also endlessly horrifying as the most popular spots on this planet still appear to involve the strangely perverse.

Philip Rosendale, CEO at Linden said voice was always part of Second Life planning. A beta version for 1,000 users will be introduced next week with a formal launch slated for the second quarter of this year.

Can you imagine the nightmare of 100 furry users present in the same audio channel at the same time? µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
