    Lively definitely appeals to a specific audience. I’m wondering how much further than can go with this type of online application. Unlike most of the Google products you must download a plug-in, which is currently only for Windows users. In anycase, it’ll be interesting to see where Google will go with this, in terms of integrating Lively with other services.
