testing Lively...
installation and firefox integratin without having to restart firefox? strange, but seems to work.
login takes a very very long time..."chat login timeout" :-(
Next try..."An error occured, please try again". It's the first time that a beta service from google really feels like a beta service.
trying another room...doesnt' work either. :-(

let's try to embed a room into my blog:


Let's see what lively is good for: chat rooms, for few people, 20 maximum.
But you can create your own personal room, with furniture and your own avatar. And you can place this room on any web site (incl. myspace, facebook...) that you want. Sounds like a great idea. Don't know if and how you can restrict the access to your own room.

Restart FF. Now it works, I can enter a room. How do I move my avatar? There is a help center, but it doesn't really help. After 5 minutes I still don't know what to do here.
All rooms are empty, am I the only one here to test lively?

"Joining room..."is written on the bottom for minutes. The "Tip below to chat...", but there is no place I can write anything.

Sound is good, 3D, and only active when the browser tab is visible (not good if you chat in one tab and browser in other tabs). But you can take the lively chat out of the browser tab.It's then a regular window and sound continue to work even when you do somethign else.
