New Facebook App Connects To Second Life

-At New World Notes, Wagner James Au reports that a new Facebook application, Second Life Link, connects Facebook profiles to the user's Second Life avatar by mapping it using the avatar key, and allows the avatar to be displayed in the Facebook profile. It also lets people see whether their Facebook friends are in Second Life at any given time, and to teleport to favorite locations directly.

It's unsurprising that a popular social networking tool would finally get its own means to connect to Second Life. The app, called Second Life Link and created by Fire Preibisch and Jared Mitchell, is still in beta.
