Google's Lively Virtual World
Published on
Google's social world thinger, Lively, has gone live. It's an environment-building 3D web browser thing of the "Second Life Lite" variety. I've not had time to have a good look at it, but judging by the sheer number of rooms being created by people the content tools must be fairly easy to use. It all seems a bit laggy though, so I guess the most popular rooms are getting battered by too much traffic. It also wants your Gmail login every 30 seconds, which is rather irritating. Still, let us know in the comments if you end up making something interesting from it.
