If there's Second Life already there?! And then... "Lively is not ready for your platform. Lively requires Windows Vista or XP with Internet Explorer or Firefox." Nice work from Google, except ‘why?’ if it isn’t linked up with Google Earth (that’d be ace)? If there’s Second Life already there?! And then…

“Lively is not ready for your platform.

Profoundly. It's nothing like Second Life and light years from anything resembling it at the moment. Instead it's much more closely related to things like Club Penguin or Habbo Hotel. Of course there's nothing wrong with that at all and 'chat rooms with cartoons' may indeed be a viable platform - there's been at least two attempts over the past year which would appear very closely related to this and have failed miserably. Still with the google name it could be different this time. Shame really, I was hoping for a fully fledged metaverse candidate based on Google Earth. Oh Well. Have to disagree. Profoundly.

Even without our topscorer we managed a goalless draw a.e.t. and took the plate with a solid German style penalty shootout! And we could lift it!
