Unsure of location of question..SL Messenger

Hi, i was wondering if there was a SL messenger available. I thought i saw it somewhere on secondlife.com, but i cant find it anymore. Is there a messenger for Second life?

thanks

I don't know if that's what you mean... this thing lets you send IMs from inside SL out to the various IM clients. At least that's what it says on its home page.

Well like msn.. a messenger program for my contacts in sl. Basically something that i dont have to be in world for. Just log in and see my contacts from sl and im them.. anything like that?

Oh, no.

Well, there are some programs that do that. I'll have to try to look them up again. None of them work on computers where you can't connect to SL, though. If you're blocked from SL by a firewall, the non-graphic clients are blocked as well.

The best thing you can do, as far as I know, is to use zonkster (www.zonkster.com) to send an IM inworld. When your friend replies, their IM will go into your email, and you can reply (via email).

It's a little disconcerting for your friend, because they see your IMs as if you're inworld, but you're not.

You can keep replying to someone's IM via email for a day or so, I think.

Make sure you delete their email when you reply, though, because you don't want to hit the character-count limit, or give away your RL email address.

Also, make sure your signature doesn't give away any RL info if you're going to be doing this.

I'll see if I can get a list of the non-graphic SL clients now.

Here's is a list:

Also, there is a website that gave that sort of access, ajaxlife.net, but currently it's banned by LL. We'll see if it comes back to life. Its performance was always spotty, though.

Yea.. her only problem is that her video/graphic card isnt working well but she still needs to be in touche with some of her contacts bc of business.. il ltell her about zonkster, and let me know if you find any other.. thanks so much!
