Google kills Lively
p2pnet news view | Advertising:- Google’s Lively isn’t.
Lively, that is.
It’s not dead yet. Only moribund. But it’ll cease to be on December 31, blogs Google.
It’s a bet that didn’t pay off, Do No Evil admits, going on »»»
That’s why, despite all the virtual high fives and creative rooms everyone has enjoyed in the last four and a half months, we’ve decided to shut Lively down at the end of the year. It has been a tough decision, but we want to ensure that we prioritize our resources and focus more on our core search, ads and apps business. Lively.com will be discontinued at the end of December, and everyone who has worked on the project will then move on to other teams.
We’d encourage all Lively users to capture your hard work by taking videos and screenshots of your rooms.
Will Lively live on in lampoons?
Stay tuned.
