Bad news for Google Lively users. Google has announced that it will shut down the 3D virtual Google Lively. It was launched just six months back allowing users to interact with their friends and express themselves online in new ways.
From the day, it was launched it had poor response from the users because of the limited support and was only available for Windows users. Google has taken Lively as a kind of experimentation, but says that “not every bet is going to pay off.” 
According to a post on the Google Blog, Google has said that "That’s why, despite all the virtual high fives and creative rooms everyone has enjoyed in the last four and a half months, we’ve decided to shut Lively down at the end of the year. It has been a tough decision, but we want to ensure that we prioritize our resources and focus more on our core search, ads and apps business. Lively.com will be discontinued at the end of December, and everyone who has worked on the project will then move on to other teams. We’d encourage all Lively users to capture your hard work by taking videos and screenshots of your rooms."
