   I think that just shows you how hard it is to make a pure VW when even Google can’t seem to do it.

   Alternatively, it could have been a lack of marketing, because I’m a bit of a Google Fanboy and I never heard a word about it until today.

   Not sure I agree Cuppa. Lively reeked of something that was shoved out the door because “people might think it’s neat” – it never felt like a serious attempt in any way to me.

   I’m with Calandryll on this – it seemed like typical Google “build it and they will come”. They hoped to iterated their way to a Second Life “killer”, imo.

   I’m a fond user of many Google apps, but Lively was poorly conceived and poorly executed.

   I do recall having heard of it once before (maybe on this blog?), but it’s probably another instance of the bury-the-mistakes reflex which Google and so many other companies display on a regular basis.
