Google Live-ly: More Reasons To Sit On Your Ass

As if there weren't enough technological advancements to keep us in the chair; like the brain-washed humans in Wall-e, Google brings us Lively! It's a brand new virtual environment similar to Second Life, but this is free (at least for now). You can create your own character, customize your own 'rooms', and interact with other users in a graphical text / animation interface.
I created an account and tried to browse around, it was a bit confusing. Perhaps I just need more time to dig in and communicate with people. Instead of using emoticons to express yourselves, now we have a more noticeable way to react to each others remarks. We'll see how long this will last.

Google, stop trying to take over the world, please.
