Lively, Boss

Lively from Google: An online virtual world where users can create avatars and hang around. This takes your online presence to the next level. Though Second Life has been around, Lively is free to use.

Boss from Yahoo: Build your Own Search Service is yahoo's open search web services platform. Instead of developing a search engine from scratch, you can leverage on yahoo's existing search index. Thinking of BOSS, I remember of certain AWS using cloud architectures which give developers access to amazon's tech. platform. So, building a new search engine may not need index ing the zillions of web pages but developing nice algo. will do.
