John Jainschigg just posted a very cute blog entry over on Zzomg!, describing his first experiments in turning Google Lively into (his words): "a work-ready platform for global business conferencing, branding, sales, education and v-commerce." I couldn't resist sharing a pic of World2Worlds new experimental space (to visit, click on Google Lively(tm) in the menu above). That's me in the back row, looking vaguely like AIM's generation 1.0 "Goth Girl" SuperBuddy icon. John's the white squirrel-thing at the podium, dressed in an Aladdin costume.

Clearly, it's early times. But seeing Lively on a full-size letterbox display (i.e., popped out from the web page) and you begin to get a feel for what this could become. That's a very, very sleek user interface. Baked textures. Simple-but-serviceable lighting-model. There's stuff to like about Lively, for sure.
