Facebook (Google) Lively

I saw that the Google has launch a version of Lively for Facebook.

facebook google lively

Thinking that Google can do no wrong, I quickly proceed to install that application.

Immediately I regretted it.

I encountered sooo many problems that I can’t list them all!

The application just would not load my song into the ‘room’. It keep sending message: Make sure the song file is in MP3 format. Hey, of course it is in Mp3 format. What else can it be?

Then when I tried to change the eyebrow format, it totally crashed. Immediately it sent a popup box: we are sorry … bla bla bla …

You would think that it is nice to have such popup box? Wait. The popup box crashed Firefox. So I shut down Firefox. To my horrow, even after shutting down the browser, the popup BOXES kept their onslaught.

Knowing that it will freeze Window in seconds, I quickly initiate “Restart”. Wow. You should see the struggle. Even when Windows is shutting down, the popup BOXES try to squeeze their way through. 56 boxes and counting …

This behaviour reminded me  vividly those days when I was still using Internet Explorer. I have never seen anything like this after I switch over to Firefox. How on earth did Google come up with such screwed up application?

    It is something like Second Life, where you can create your virtual room and avatar
