Lively from Google: Eh?
by Steven Rossi on July 24, 2008 in On the Web
I came across some new thing from Google the other day. It’s called Lively, and I’m not exactly sure what it is. It looks like a Second Life clone, but it also appears to be based on the idea of a chat room. In my younger days, I used to play The Sims Online (which was, in my defense, much cooler than The Sims, which I had never played), and we would describe it as a glorified chat room to people who were unfamiliar with it. It looks as though Lively is even more of a glorified chat room than TSO, which I think is pretty impressive. I’d like to try it out, but for now it’s Windows-only and I am Mac-only. Oh well. Maybe someday.
