Virtual world has brought a revolution in the way we communicate. We already have lot of social networking sites and we enjoy finding old friends on such sites. A new feature here is hangouts where you can have different avatars and can hangout with your friends in a virtual world.

What is virtual hangout : Virtual hangouts are where people can engage each other using imaginary characters in imaginary environments.

They have been around and popular in Europe and Asia for years. However, they appear to be gaining traction in the United States as of late. The newly released MultiVerse platform, which is designed for the creation of online 3D worlds, certainly anticipates a future in which developers demand the tools necessary to build niche virtual communities because such communities have gone mainstream. Currently, virtual hangouts differentiate themselves by targeting particular audiences and providing certain types of immersive experiences. There are different games for different age groups and security levels are set accordingly. But I still feel it is wonderful to sit with a friend at a nice cafe than hanging out on net..

It is one more  practice of giving vent and to meet such type of people very rare to meet in reality.

virtual world is taking away our generation towards more virtuosity which is not a very good sign at all.. 
Yes, it is good to sit with a good friend in park. How many can spare their time to go out. Most of the working class stick to their desks most of the day. In between the working hours, they want some relief from the routine. I call it as "third life". Lol. With family we live the first life. What we are leading in office is the second life, virtual life is third life. Let us try.

When looked at positively it seems to be an innovative way to communicate. But on the flip side, the human mind being what it is, we tend to imagine the attributes of those we "hang out" with and this could be dangerous. We will then meet face-to-face and feel let down by the actual features of one we held in such affection/expectation. This could lead to depression?
