How quickly misinformation spreads. My comment on Robert Scoble's blog was pure conjecture and I have no inside knowledge of MS's strategy in this arena.

No thanks. This smells too much like Second Life and IMvu, or whatever it is called. Wake me up until we have a true immersive enivornment, aking to a holodeck. Until then, I'll stick to just text, thank you very much.

I think this'll turn out interesting. This is the first time a virtual life has been intergrated into a virtual earth.

Being able to walk / communicate / interact in the 'real' virtual world (MS Virtual Earth) is a compelling reason to get into a metaverse.

I left Second Life as soon as I arrived due to the sheer scale and lack of clear objective. But seeing the real world through a in browser mash up of Live Maps 3d and perhaps a layer of Live Photosynth, has potential.

Lively looks like it's Google desparate attempt to corner the Social Network market (ok I know Orkut was it's first attempt).
