				When Google launched <em>Lively</em>, its web-based, browser-embeddable, <em>Second Life</em>-esque virtual world chat space, <a href="http://kotaku.com/5023139/google-launches-its-own-second-life">we said</a> we'd "check back in with it soon" and "dig deeper to see what Google has in store." That was a lie. We never had any intention of firing up <em>Lively</em> on our Windows XP box ever again after hitting Save on the post. Fortunately, we'll never be tempted to make right on that fib, as <em>Lively</em> will never make it past beta, nor will it survive into 2009. Google announced it was shutting down <em>Lively</em> at the end of the year today.				<a href="http://kotaku.com/5093891/google-kills-its-second-life+like-lively" title="Click here to read more about Google Kills Its Second Life-like Lively">More&nbsp;&raquo;</a>
