oh but then it says “lively isn’t ready yet for your platform”
so at least there is some hope, unless it’s a boilerplate to perpetually placate the non-XP/vista users.

Once again, Google makes an app and neglects Linux.
While not evil, it certainly isn’t considerate.

Worldwide rickrolls and porn spam, here we come!

I’m all for user content, but man… some users…

As an experienced online world user, I was disappointed by many aspects of this new platform. First, my avatar never fully loaded (on firefox 3), so my camera could only hover around and look at the walls before I would be spontaneously logged out. Also, the pre-made avatars in the catalogue are painfully stereotypical. I know Google is slow sometimes(Gmail is still in beta!), but this is just pathetic. They need to step it up or get out of the game.

Meh. When are we going to get a truly open “virtual space” protocol that allows linking the spaces of different servers together? Just like ISPs like AOL gave way to the web, proprietary virtual spaces will also become obsolete eventually.

take a pill #2

here is how it all works:

users make content
community grows around content
bright minds leads community
running costs needs monetization of content
monetization dilutes community content
underground movement now becomes sellout technofad

comment applies to both article and this website.
see you on ihacked. been here since had's 1st post. i'm out.

I was in the beta for it, and I must say the features are quite a bit more polished. Still not anywhere near second life, but the developers seem to be going more for visual chat room than mmorpg. For that it seems about right. Bummed out about no mac/linux support, though.
