- victoryv, on 07/09/2008, -1/+2yeah,you are true MrColdheart. But still its not "yet another program ".This is a product of Google. Thats enough to make it important.

Here's my most recent, thx in advance for looking:

It's competition for IMVU, sure, but SL's true lasting userbase is drawn to it for a world where everything is made by the users, rather than the corporate content that saturates worlds like IMVU and Lively. It's never tied down to any limited set of experiences approved by the people above, because literally anyone with the right skills, hardware, software, and internet connection can jump right into SL and immediately start making the best 3D, interactive content the online world has to offer (while their friends watch it all coming together in-world). To establish your own permanent place, you'll have to buy land or share with a friend, but otherwise you're free to set up and create and do pretty much whatever doesn't break real-world law.
Nothing against the IMVU genre, but Second Life is something on a completely different level. The only real attempt at duplicating that was the Chinese knockoff "HiPiHi". If Google wants to open Lively up something like SL (and I'm imagining they'd rather not go any further than Yahoo's "There" did, which still involves approval), perhaps they can manage it, but it takes dedication to keep such a dynamic world running. We'll just have to wait and see whether Google wants to give any of that a try.
