Last July, Google launched with fanfare Lively, its house of a virtual world, following thus not in this growing niche of well-established giants as Second Life. Lively is a Web program that allowed anyone to create virtual spaces, such as chat rooms, which could then incorporate the blogs or Facebook pages. However, from December 31, Lively users will no longer interact in the virtual environment of Google. Today, the search engine announced the death of a project that, during a four and a half months of existence just remarkable, failed to attract enough fans to justify the maintenance . The announcement was published both on the official Google blog on the home page of Lively, left no hope of resurrection of the project. The home page of Lively goes straight to the point: "After serious consideration, we decided to close Lively." "The chat spaces integrated with other blogs and web pages will display a corresponding image, but users will no longer register for spaces Lively to communicate with each other, said the Web page." The official Google blog published a brief eulogy of the project, stressing that all projects undertaken by the giant online research are not intended to publicize the success.
