Lively by Google

Well, it looks like Google's got a finger in yet another proverbial pie: virtual worlds. They're calling it "Lively". You sign in with your Google Account, create an avatar, and then can visit virtual spaces that can be embedded into any web page. That seems like the direction Google is going: Create functionality and social apps, then allow them to be used by anyone on their own web site.

Here's a sample room below to check it out. I'm having a hard time joining ... maybe they're being inundated by first time users or something?

lively.com

Evidently it currently only works on Firefox and IE.

Let me know what you think in the comments.
