Lively vs Second Life
With the launch of Google’s Lively, the fully immersible virtual world becomes a mainstream experience, though Second Life got there first. Lively’s a whole new level of networking—an interactive, 3D meshing of ‘real life’ with your virtual presence. It’s got text, audio, video... But one ‘new medium’ had precisely these attributes earlier: computer games. So, what makes Lively so different?

A good comparison of the two virtual chats. Lively doesn't have much of a "world" but it does offer a more unique chat experience. Maybe it will grow into something that really causes competition for Second Life.
By the way, I love the Brasil room! Glad you mentioned it!
