Google Lively, Google's first attempt at a virtual world, is now dead -- or will be as of 2009, according to the Official Google Blog.

"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," claims the ever-self-aggrandizing blog.

Sure. Blame it on your over-packed plate. How very sacrificial of you -- although, it seems these numbers below might have at least something to do with Lively's demise, no?
