Google Launches Lively, an Avatar Based 3D World

no.good.at.coding writes "Google has launched a Windows-only, in-browser (you need to install a client first, though) 3D avatar worldLively — that you can embed in websites and use to interact with other people. It's not as expansive as Second Life yet, but expect things to get better."

    The term "jump the shark" is so yesterday. The current correct term is "nuking the fridge".

    "I mean, it is kind-of like chatroom v. 2.0 or something along those lines. But when it gets to be where you spend more time living in an imaginary dreamworld, then it's time to seek help."

    Yeah, I hear there's a chatroom just for that.

    I think something is wrong with my lively account.

    The first time I logged in, some funny looking feller who looked like Colonel Sanders greeted me, "Your life is the sum of a remainder of an unbalanced equation inherent to the programming of the google. You are the eventuality of an anomaly, which despite my sincerest efforts I have been unable to eliminate from what is otherwise a harmony of mathematical precision. While it remains a burden to sedulously avoid it, it is not unexpected, and thus not beyond a measure of control. Which has led you, inexorably, here."

    So, I punched him in the hoohaw with my Papa Smurf avatar and quickly logged off. Is thing still beta?

    Do not try to comprehend the idea of a Google 20% application leaving Beta. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth: there is no Beta.
