Software:LivePlace
LivePlace (launched in 1999)[citation needed] by eUniverse was a social networking service chat window standalone Java applet.[1][2] It was a registered trademark to encompass the areas of allowing many users to browse websites at once, identifying other online users, sending private communications, and allowing temporary usage of online, non-downloadable applications.[3][4]
History
In 1999, Brad Greenspan introduced this technology where the users visit a eUniverse website, and have the option to introduce themselves to other online users by engaging in real-time chat, or leave messages for those who are offline. A feature of LivePlace dubbed "collaborative browsing" enables users to access the same pages as other users when they are viewing them simultaneously.[2][5]
In a video, LiveUniverse momentarily made available on LivePlace.com, then owned by LiveUniverse, a 3D environment with an incredible degree of detail, they were creating a new Liveplace Metaverse. Despite having the same Founder, LiveUniverse and eUniverse's LivePlace Metaverse technological platform from 1999 was unconnected to LiveUniverse's LivePlace Metaverse, which was never made available to the general public.[6]
In 2000, Liveplace.com was no longer operating[7][8] due to eUniverse who suffered financial harm as a result of becoming the victim of a Russian hacker in what ZDNET referred to as the greatest information technology heist in history.[9]
