ABSTRACT:
A method, system and computer program product for associating a virtual instant messaging client, of an avatar, with a standard instant messaging account. When a communication transcript is completed in a virtual instant messaging session, the communication transcript is stored. Wherein the stored communication transcript is an archived virtual world (VW) communication transcript. The archived VW communication transcript is associated with one or more instant messaging clients. A request is received to continue communication, with one or more avatars, when a virtual instant messaging session is completed. When the request is received a graphical user interface (GUI) is automatically displayed. One or more of the following selections are enabled: communicate via the instant messaging session or do not communicate via the instant messaging session. When the selection to communicate, with the one or more avatars, via the instant messaging session is received, the system dynamically initiates an instant messaging session. The GUI is automatically closed when a do not communicate via the instant messaging session selection is received. Access to the archived VW communication transcript is enabled during one or more instant messaging sessions. The content of the archived VW communication transcript is automatically displayed when the archived VW communication transcript is accessed during the instant messaging session.
