Lively Adds 3D Chat from Any Website [Featured Windows Download]

Category: Science/Tech | Posted by laraib 1412 days ago

Windows only: Lively, a free Second-Life-like 3D chat program created by Google, has recently launched. Why should you pay attention to the umpteenth avatar-guided chat platform to hit the web? For starters, while it requires a small package download and installation, the program itself runs tidily inside Firefox or Internet Explorer, allowing you to switch it on and off with relative ease (and with far fewer crashes and less over-crowding than a certain 3D chat program). Secondly, you can embed your own chat room, or any other you find, into a blog or personal page with YouTube-like ease. The Google Blog post announcing Lively has more details and an introductory video. Lively is a free download/plug-in for Windows systems only. Update: Apologies for the duplicate post, all.
