Lively no more
In July we launched Lively in Google Labs because we wanted users to be able to interact with their friends and express themselves online in new ways. Google has always been supportive of this kind of experimentation because we believe it's the best way to create groundbreaking products that make a difference to people's lives. But we've also always accepted that when you take these kinds of risks not every bet is going to pay off. That's why, despite all the virtual high fives and creative rooms everyone has enjoyed in the last four and a half months, we've decided to shut Lively down at the end of the year. It has been a tough decision, but we want to ensure that we prioritize our resources and focus more on our core search, ads and apps business. Lively.com will be discontinued at the end of December, and everyone who has worked on the project will then move on to other teams.
We'd encourage all Lively users to capture your hard work by taking videos and screenshots of your rooms.

Lively no more
After careful consideration, we have decided to shut down Lively.
Since Lively's launch, we have been delighted to see the creative ways you've used the product. We enjoyed hanging out in Jen's coffee house, and checking out the Brasil Party room. We got a kick out of the YouTube videos in a variety of languages telling stories about your avatars. And we've been awed by the elaborate rooms that you've constructed, using mosaic tiles and photo gadgets in novel ways.
We will shut down Lively on December 31, 2008. Embedded rooms in blogs and other web pages will continue to show an image, but users will no longer be able to enter Lively rooms and interact.
Between now and the end of the year we encourage you to capture all your hard work by taking videos and screenshots of your rooms. Thank you for sharing this experience with us. We've learned a lot about how users interact in rich social environments, and we hope you've enjoyed your time with Lively.
For more information, please read our blog post.
Here's a shout-out to some of the rooms we particularly enjoyed:

据TechCrunch报道，Google今天发布了一个类似Second Life的新服务，名叫Lively，是一个基于浏览器的三维虚拟世界，可以让用户创建和定制个性化造型和世界，并与其他用户进行互动，这个丰富而有趣的社会化互动比GTalk要好。

据TechCrunch报道，Google今天发布了一个类似Second Life的新服务，名叫Lively，是一个基于浏览器的三维虚拟世界，可以让用户创建和定制个性化造型和世界，并与其他用户进行互动，这个丰富而有趣的社会化互动比GTalk要好。
虚拟世界是嵌入在浏览器中，Windows用户使用IE或Firefox即可查看、下载并安装，Mac和Linux用户还要多等待一段时间。
Google已经建立了很多房间的样本和用户造型，用户也可以创造自己独特的物品，未来会有更多的造型出现，用户可以在虚拟的世界中相互交谈、跳舞或握手，并操纵物品。
目前Lively还尚未充分成为Second Life的竞争者，但人们可以看到Google在不断发展并进入在线虚拟世界领域，并且在虚拟世界中也是可以做广告的。
