Linden Lab® announced today at their blog:

…SLim, a lightweight, voice-enabled instant messaging client that will allow you to communicate with your Second Life® friends without logging in to the full viewer.

Among other benefits, SLim will give you:

· Access to your Second Life® Friends list with real-time “presence” status updates

· The ability to seamlessly migrate a text conversation into a voice call

· The ability for SLim users to leave voice mails for offline friends

The SLim-enabled First Look viewer will be available very shortly.

Initially, you’ll be able to use SLim to communicate with Residents who are using the SLim-enabled First Look. Eventually, the main release viewer will also be SLim-enabled.
