There's a freeware version over at JoeLieberman.net. The inventor and his partner parted ways and took their respective versions. Lieberman's version didn't quite catch on as well, but he continues to develop it and provide support. I think he refers to it as the GlobalLattice...not quite as catchy, I admit.
So yes, this is what Al Gore invented, Davnes007, though his motives were rather obscure. In theory it was to save the planet, but some think it was actually a means of connecting people into a hive mind and thus conquer the planet. The plan went awry when the Hale-Bopp aliens interfered in Earth-side affairs and liberated mankind, freeing them from the mind-controlling Internet and giving them a duplicate that actually allowed people to consciously give up their autonomy to sites like Facebook. But you won't find this version of events in Wikipedia.
