We hope to enable user-generated content and even more customization soon, but until then we've given you tons of choices from the catalog to help personalize your Lively experience.
This might be a smart move. Have pro content creators creating nice looking content, and then, when the bar has been set, opening it up to everyone to create content. Of course, in this case I'll be surprised if it's possible to create content within the program itself. Looks like it's all made externally and imported.

One thing I noticed from the video was avatar facial expressions. I really, really hope that if LL updates the av mesh, that facial expressions are something they add to the mix. Like, having the avatar mouth move when typing or using voice.
