Google has released its own virtual world: Lively. Lively is available through a browser plugin for Firefox and Internet Explorer. It is Windows only for now. Lively does not feature one coherent world like Second Life but splits worlds up into different rooms. Lively was originally developed as a 20% project by Niniane Wang.
Lively runs completely in the browser and you use your Google account to log in and create your own avatars. Within the world, you can interact with other users. You can also watch YouTube clips on virtual TVs and share your own photos.
Users can choose from a number of preset animations for their characters, ranging from shaking hands with others, to applauding, crying, etc. By double clicking on certain items in the virtual world.
