Lively Friends

Lively truly is a wonderful Google Product. Started as another 20% project of Niniane Wang, it truly let us experience a new dimension of the web. The rich 3D Virtual Worlds we traveled in Lively, were filled with friendly avatars from all around the world.
Being from a small island, Sri Lanka, not known to many, I was welcome with open hands of friendship from people from all over the world. I made friends from all over the world incuding, USA, UK, France, Germany, Brazil, Russia, India, Japan, etc.
During my first days in Lively many urged me to creat my first room. When I started on it, many visited, just to check I was doing alright. I still remember setting up the first Jumbotron, where a friend came over to walk me through the steps hurriedly while she was getting late for her classes. I made some true friends who's friendship I will treasure even if Lively is no more.
A friendly chat with these friends in Lively is a part of my life, a treasured moment at the end of a busy day at work.
Ohh Google, please let Lively live...
