If you’ve got an inkling to celebrate New Year’s Eve online this year, you have two options from an Australian perspective, let alone all the other parties that will be going on.

The first involves Second Life: ABC Island will have a community party starting at 11pm AEST and running for 24 hours to cover worldwide timezones.

The second is a party hosted on the Australian web-based platform, ExitReality by . This event actually kicked off at midday AEST but will again cover all the timezones. You’ll need to download the ExitReality plugin (Windows only) to join the party.

Paris Hilton is in Australia to host the real-life party being held at the Trademark Hotel in Sydney, with the ExitReality version and a webcast also on offer.
