Google Lively Introduced

Google also wants in in the world of online gaming by introducing the Google Lively, a browser-based online world that has been embedded in the more popular social networks such as Facebook (we told you then). This application allows users to chat, using a 3D personalized avatar in a room that they created. MySpace integration is being lined up for the near future as well, so you can be sure this will be yet another time killer in the office, sending productivity rates plunging even in times of economic hardship. No monetization plans have been discussed yet, so all the in-world objects are currently free but one might think : “start as many accounts as possible to obtain those rare items before Google starts charging, so that you can make a killing on eBay shortly thereafter”. Will we also see AdWords inside?
