No one has done this brilliantly yet - arguably with the exception of the kids worlds - and Google doesn't have a great track record in building apps.

I remember us discussing this possibility at that IBM event, when was it two months ago? I'm sure Google will do something impressive technically and open (as in API). Interesting times. cheers, Hi Nic,
