Gaby – Thanks. And congrats on your new position with Echo & Shadow. I’ve been following them for a while, can’t wait to see what you all come up with. We’ll definitely have to get together some time, chat about character bots in virtual worlds.

best of luck to you! I was one of the first to try out Vivaty (on Parallels/Bootcamp on a Mac…please work on a Mac version ;)) and was very sad about the bad timing with Lively’s launch because that stole a lot of thunder from this great product. I’m working with Echo & Shadow now (as product manager as well) on bots with personality for missions in virtual worlds, maybe we can talk about it some day a bit more :-)

Justin, we’re excited to see you come aboard, and as our good friend “thinkagain” points out, there’s plenty of work for us to tackle together. I’m glad you’ll be helping in our efforts. Already we have many many users who are deeply engaged with the service via Facebook, AIM and other channels, and these folks have great ideas for how to make things even better. That’s the advantage of actually having a product that’s in the market, vs some of the other competitors — you can actually get a great customer dialogue with real data to help guide future decisions. See you soon!

think again – That’s the fun of a start-up isn’t it? We’ll see how it turns out in the next 6 months, a year.
