Kamper Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 Well, this sucks for Second Life. Google is launching a new service today called Lively, a browser based virtual world add-on that lets users create and customize avatars and worlds, interact with other users, and generally have a richer social interaction than is offered by GTalk today. Worlds can be embedded into web pages, although only Windows users on IE or Firefox can view them, after an add-on download and installation. Mac and Linux users will have to wait for now. Google has created a number of sample rooms that can be copied and altered, or users can start from scratch and build their own world. Furniture and other items can be added and moved around. Avatars can talk to each other, do things like dance and shake hands, and manipulate objects (in a demo, my avatar was able to blow up drums of toxic waste by double clicking on them. Users can also, of course, chat with each other - GTalk is the underlying chat engine. This isn't yet a full Second Life competitor. There's no single world, for example, where users can move around. But it's easy to see Google evolving this into a single online world. And then, of course, selling advertising into it. jaja...como dijo un amigo: "google va a dominar al mundo!" xD Source: washington post

Holy_COW Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 (edited) Prometeus, cada vez mas cerca! Tiemblen humanos q nuestro fin esta cerca! lo pior esq ese video tiene ya como 3 anios... la profecía se va cumpliendo de a poquitos! Tambien un poco diferentes pero la ruta es la misma... MS esta a punto de comprar Yahoo por su desesperación de recobrar el nombre de la compania lider de tecnología y la infrastructura y renombre de yahoo como buscador y ads.
