I am not saying this is relvant to anything, but it is just interesting.
In any event good luck to Envolve. I am sure they will do much better than gooey, mostly because they do not require users to download or install anything.
Even earlier than Gooey was Ubique's Virtual Places.
The no-plug-in, all HTML and JS qualities of the current breed of tools – plus many more users familiar with the basic idea (from Facebook and elsewhere) – make it a much better idea now.
