Googler, JohnMu, suggested in a Google Webmaster Help thread that they give Google's Lively, Google's failed attempt at a SecondLife virtual world, a shot before it closes down.
Yesterday, John posted a thread announcing an "Informal End Of Year live-chat over at Lively." I missed it, and so did most people. In fact, I don't think it actually worked.
Looking over the thread, it seems like the event really never happened. I did see a chat room URL in there, but I don't see it anymore. So it seems like the Lively event, wasn't too lively. But it was a great idea to give Google's Lively a last whirl.

You missed it, Barry! Yes, we did make it in to Lively and we enjoyed running around an island & chatting. In the end we moved to a more standard web-based chatroom so that everyone could join, regardless of the platform they were using. It was a fun event :-).

John, thanks for adding.... Too bad I missed it. Was watching my fetus on video. ;-) Looks like I missed some fun.
