I've been tinkering with Google's new Virtual World Lively. It seems a bit flaky at the moment and works only on Windows right now... but I was able to set it up. The neat thing about it is that the rooms can be embedded anywhere; like in this blog, for example. Like MyBloglog, Lively can also serve as a visitor log and unlike SecondLife, it isnt a walled garden. It is a fun thing to try out, but IMO, at its utility seems low. What it lacks right now is the stickiness factor...a few of the 2D Facebook app games are more addictive than this. Usually in such situations, an occasional flash mob like the one on Huddle is a lot more fun!
