New voice features? London.. euh… Linden calling.
February 20, 2008 1:48 pm
America’s Network writes about telecommunication companies in Second Life, and throws this in: According to Informationweek (dec 2007), Linden Lab is working on upgrades for the voice communications feature it added in August 2007 that will allow avatars to get their own SL number and receive voice calls from real-world phones sometime in Q1 2008. Voicemail is included.
Getting our own country code sounds nifty, no? What else will we get according to ‘Joe Linden’?
- Standalone desktop client for chat.
- Voice support for Linux. (Should be here already?)
- The ability to get real-world phone numbers assigned to our avatars and corresponding voice mail.
- New controls for group chat: group owners can moderate, silencing a few or all avatars if needed.
- ‘Voice fonts’, to thoroughly and neatly transform your voice if wanted.
I assume n°3 and n°5 will be ‘paid for services’. So the logical questions follows, would you pay for this? I hardly ever use the real life phone with persons that also have Skype - well, not when both of us are at home - and everybody says my tutorial-voice is cute so I shouldn’t go changing that one either? ;)

Something like this? F2 F3 F3 - F4 F5 F6 F9
With me that would translate to: World, Excel, powerpoint, back, forwards, a function. :d
(Read: I did not understand the example. :( )
Care to comment?
