20 Nov Know When to Hold Them… Know When To Fold Them…
….Know when to walk away… Know when to run …. Google LIvely 3D service to be discontinued.
Per Google’s Lively.com,
Lively by Google has interactive 3D places on web pages where visitors can see each other’s avatars and chat. Customize your avatar and decorate rooms to add another dimension to social networking!
Although I did not really jump into the 3D space on Lively, it is a great hint as to where the web COULD go! Why? By creating 3D animations of your offline store, club, restaurant, or any offline place… with a little infusion of real video, is one of the best ways that the web could evolve for interactivity. Web 5.0 or Web 10.0…
From an Ecommerce/Internet Marketing Perspective, I dig the fact that I could virtually comb through items in a store. Lots of work for the vendor, but cool prospect in web dreaming!

Perhaps a point of failure is the whole animated thing. Perhaps it is still considered to be a niche interest compared to what mainstream wants to see and interact with. If we are progressing to Web 3.0… then my guess would be Web 7.0 will be ready for this transition.
Google, continue your trendsetting…. Early adopters get the point.
