Google has launched a cartoon world for chatting it up. Its called Lively, and sounds really interesting!
Uh! Oh no! It requires Windows. :-(
It seems strange to me that while Linden Labs, the makers of Second Life, is involved with Google's Summer of Code, that Google is getting into the virtual life thing. Is Google partnering with companies, only to compete with them shortly thereafter? Seems to be happening with Google and Apple, in that Android is competing with the iPhone.
