Lively? What the hell?

[kniedzw]

OK. Google has gone bonkers. They just released a virtual chatroom ... thing called Lively. Create an avatar, create a room, and enter and chat with your friends there! Sort of like Second Life, but far more limited. (Only runs on Windows. Feh.)

I refuse to put this on my work computer, so I task my friends to play with it and make derisive comments. Or admit to their secret shame of liking it. One critic's take here.

Thoughts?
