Google's Lively Learnings

Google says: "We set Lively tough targets and it did not achieve them, but Lively did teach us about what our users like and what they don't. We learned people want to be social in many places on the web, and we learned that users appreciate the ability to meet new people and share content with friends. These are important lessons for future product development."

That's 2 points for weblin:
- people want to be social in many places on the web (maybe everywhere on the web?)
- users appreciate the ability to meet new people (new people, not just friends as in social networks)
