      Unless I've totally misread it, it doesn't seem to be any real competition for 2nd Life. I didn't see any mention of currency and trading and such. It's basically a build-your-own chat room.

            Stupid music video with "Bratz"-type avatars:

            [flash=425,344:24jerzfn]http://www.youtube.com/v/5YbwfOucET8&hl[/flash:24jerzfn]

            So this is what SketchUp was destined for, all along? To be a content-producer for a virtual world of prepubescent, hydrocephalic twits with bad taste in electronic music? Time to call my stockbroker and tell him to dump my Google shares! Whatever happened to the Snowcrashbusiness-plan?

              Seems like the world of uber-geeks agrees with my previously-expressed sentiment concerning this new app:

              http://tech.slashdot.org/tech/08/07/09/1210218.shtml

              Some of the posts are really funny:

              http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=608219&cid=24115665

              Those of us who noticed the scrolling list of current Google queries on the wall in the Googleplex reception room will appreciate this one:

              http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=608219&cid=24117915

              But I think, all-in-all, the very first post really pronounces the damning judgement:

                          It's a good thing obscenity isn't appreciated here, because I've got a whole string coming out here in my office.

                          As Lewis said, this is what Google intended for SU all along?!?!

                          I hesitate to ask if this could get any worse, but could it?

                          You guys may as well throw out your Layouts 🤣 Glad I never bothered with that half assed 1 1/2 year old beta....

                            I've noticed a great many of the Google team looking at this thread.

                            Do you get the message, guys?

                            As I wrote in another thread, I think I will be jumping ship shortly for a real 3D modeler, now that SU has been relegated to being a toy for teeny-boppers. Way to go.

                              this is heartbreaking. Years ago, before Google became the Wal-mart of Cyberspace, and there wre all of these other engines out there. . .Alta Vista, Excite, etc. I htought they were really cool and innovative. Then came the IPO which alas, I didn't get in on but that's beside the point. . .now the shareholders and and the board are pushing this thing and when they bought @Last I knew things were not going to go well for SU. I am totally d'accord with the Biebel--if SU isn't going to develop further go OpenSource (yeah. . like I know what I'm talking about 😒 ) or I may have to bite the bullet and go to 3D Max.

                              If I make it look easy...It is probably easy

                                I'm not so sure that the intention is not just a marketing model that the cigarette industry nailed down. That is hook your next target market group while their young.

                                  The funny thing is that EVERY ARCHITECT I know uses Sketchup Pro in some way in their workflow.
                                  Isn't that proof enough that Sketchup has something 'special' the others just don't have?

                                  The number of users is still growing by the day....

                                    we will all be pleasantly surprised 👍

                                      This is called Lively, right....not SketchUp?
                                      Methinks there is a degree of hyperbole and extrapolation going on here that isn't altogether healthy. What's Lively got to do with SU other than the fact that they both involve 3D?
                                      The difference between Lively and Second Life is that it can be accessed from any browser, or even embedded in a website or blog...just like YouTube. It doesn't involve any installed software other than a small thingumajig to enable access. Any modelling or 3D editing is done online without the stuff ever leaving the server. How does this relate to SU?

                                        True.
                                        We need to be patient, but i also think people should speak up for their needs.

                                        Let us wait for what SU7 will bring.
                                        As you say, maybe we will be positively surprised.

                                        If only Google would provide us with a little clue on the development of the Pro version.

                                          Point taken, Alan.
                                          We shouldn't jump to conclusions too soon about the future of SU.
                                          On the other hand, some sort of official newsletter about SU development wouldn't harm...
                                          Information is everything.

                                          Some people build their jobs around Sketchup.
                                          No need to say those people would be happy with a little official info.
