Google Lively: Social 3D World in Your Browser
Google recently announced a new online 3D social arena called Lively that takes a bit of inspiration from Second Life. Lively is also an online 3D social world but lives in your browser.
Instead of installing a client in your computer, you just need to install some plugins to get the app to work in your browser. Currently, it supports only Internet Explorer and Firefox.
Basically, its like a 3D chat room where you can design your environments, edit designs and add extra furnitures. The big difference of Second Life over Lively is that Second Life is on one single world where all of you get to interact with one another.
Lively on the other hand is separated into different rooms so you and your friend need to be in the same room to interact with one another.
I tried installing Lively and it wasn’t that large. Only it was a bit slow when running the app in my browser.
Anyway, I think it’s pretty cool. What do you think?

Haven’t tried it yet. My home PC’s running on Ubuntu.
I tried it and it so cool! Parang sims hehehehe.
I never tried it but it seems good to try. Thanks for the heads up.
Sure Petitehye. Glad you found it interesting. Hope to see you more often.
It really is pretty cool brother! It’s actually like SecondLife and has similarities too to The Sims.
I guess, I’ll be seeing you more in the virtual world now. Haha.
Hey Ederic. You could dual boot an XP if you want. Although I’m pretty sure that you are enjoying your Ubuntu. I didn’t know that you’re an avid Linux user.
To make it realistic enough, it would have to stand alone as an installation. The things you can play through a browser are fairly limited(I’m talking runescape as the most powerful thing you can play through one).
