If you enter a Lively room embedded on your favorite blog or website, you can immediately get a sense of the room creator's interests, just by looking at the furniture and environment they chose. You can also express your own personality by customizing your avatar's look, showing people who you are without having to say a word. You can also chat with each other, and you can also interact through animated actions.

What can you do with Lively ?

Socialize in 3D places on the web: 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!

Express yourself: Your avatar represents you. Pick a character that suits your personality or mood and customize it to make it unique. Dress your avatar to express your style. Use your avatar's animations to add some body language to chats!

Create and share your own places: Anybody can create and publish their own room. Pick a room shell that provides a good foundation and decorate it any way that you can imagine. Invite people to visit your room -- they can decorate it too!
