Google's Lively will be quite inert, quite soon: The virtual-reality world faces reality, as despite some interest, Google pulls the plug. On 31-December-2008, Lively.com goes dead. Google's shutdown page notes, "Between now and the end of the year we encourage you to capture all your hard work by taking videos and screenshots of your rooms." There's no universal VR interchange format into which you can export objects and spaces--or at least not one that Google supports.
