Even Google is getting into the downsizing spirit. It just announced that it is killing Lively, its browser-baseed virtual worlds that could be embedded into other Websites. Lively launched just last July. The death notice on the site says it will shut down on December 31, so we are adding Lively to the deadpool. Lively just never took off, and was extremely far afield for Google. A post on the Google Blog explains the decision: ...

It was a great concept, I still think the browser based embeddable virtual world is the way to go...but the user experience has to be there and of course data portability between virtual worlds wouldn't hurt either.

Maybe Google didn't kill Lively so much as mercifully pull the plug. This is a good sign actually that Google is willing to weed out non-performing products. What else is being cut at Google?

Oui, Google coupe parfois ses services. Ici, Lively qui n'est actif que depuis environ 5 mois ... RIP

Happy to see this end up in the deadpool, now when will second life fold?

I never even tried the service out because the idea was totally uninteresting to me. And now, it appears that Google’s heart wasn’t in it enough to see it through.

Good. Lively was absolute crap.

When I moved to California, my going-away gift from my ever-hands-on coworkers at the design research firm, Lextant, was a metal lunchbox filled with inkjet-printed and hand-written magnets — a personalized magnetic poetry kit. Ever since, I’ve been looking for an opportunity to introduce those printable magnetic sheets to interaction design. Problem That opportunity finally arose when I found myself endlessly fidgeting with Creative Suite trying to mock up an Aurora-like mobile device interface comprised ...

Shutter speeds? Yaaawn. ISO speeds? Oh-god-not-again. Megapixels? Oh puh-bloody-lease, that’s so 2003. The newest frontier of digital photography is dynamic range - and it’s arguably the most exciting (r)evolution that’s happened in dSLR-world so far. Interestingly, most manufacturers are continually improving the dynamic range of their cameras, but somehow seem to forget to tell us about it - which means that we’re witnessing - or should I say not witnessing - a quiet revolution.
