| Senior Member ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | Google's Second Life killer? From TechCrunch here Google Launches Virtual World Called Lively Well, this sucks for Second Life. Google is launching a new service today called Lively, a browser based virtual world add-on that lets users create and customize avatars and worlds, interact with other users, and generally have a richer social interaction than is offered by GTalk today.

Outside the Median
| Add and Remove Objects: Can I Create Content? Most of the avatars, clothing, and objects were created by vendors working for Google. We're also working with a small number of trusted testers, vendors and creative agencies as part of a test for creating custom items. 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. |

XBOX Leaderboard: 18th | No seriously, it has to allow content creation. There are a ton of things in the catalog with different profiles attached to them. Sketchup maybe? nevermind i can't read fast |

You can't give up on the
World... of Warcraft!
| I just installed it to check it out and.... yeah not gonna be hopping outta SL anytime soon as a Lively convert :/ Takes longer to load than SL if that's possible and the interface sucks completely. It's just a glorified Chat room. Plus it uses that lame ass, download a tiny file which will go fetch the actual file thing and I can't stand that distribution model. I hate opening a port on my firewall for an installer or update program that runs at it's own leisure. /me reaches for the uninstaller |
