Google strikes yet again


The ubiquitous Google strikes back, not that it had a downtime in its server of innovations but this new and interesting application named LIVELY  is yet another jewel in its crown.
For those of you who have not already started drooling hours on this interactive 3D chat room, welcome to LIVELY .
http://www.lively.com/html/landing.html    It is exactly what it sounds like i.e. it removes the dull and monotonicity of dead chat rooms into lively 3D virtual spaces(rooms). After downloading a small application from its site you can access many of the virtual chat rooms available where you can have a 3D human form for yourself which can be customized as per your choice of hair, wardrobe etc. It has a new form of AVATAR, which can move in and around rooms, lounges, pools etc. Not to forget the music in the background which perfectly suits the atmosphere of the room. My favourite room being Brasil Party because of the cool lounge music it plays.
Also, you can make your own room and invite friends, you can pick furnitures and stuff add them to your inventory which could later be added to your personal room. Its like having a private get together where you can chat, dance, kiss, hug, beat up people or just hang around watching television or listening to music.
To sum it up, LIVELY is here to stay
