Lively by Google – A Virtual "Experience"
I noticed, perhaps a little later than I’d like, Google launched Lively – as described by the LA Times:
a “virtual experience,” allows users to create virtual representations of themselves, then decorate their own virtual rooms, invite friends to that room
I checked the substantial number of SLED related blogs I have in my reader and noticed there’s not yet been much written on it. Of course, Fleep Tuque (RL: Chris Collins) has already shared a few thoughts.
I’ll be looking into it more, but after a quick glance, my first impression that a “virtual experience” is drastically different from a “virtual world.” Once I have an opportunity to explore more closely, I’ll share more thoughts.

We were exploring Lively yesterday at Edugeek Journal. We had a blast, and everyone created their own room. Interesting start.

chris, i also read that article.
funny i find matt here. I actually logged into your lively site yesterday, matt. In fact, my avatar is probably siting on your couch right now, lol. found the link through myTxDLA ning posting.
Lively looks simliar but much different than SL. I think that we will be seeing more and more options to virtual worlds. Lively seems like it will be a good option for private classroom discussion.
