Putting a Human Face and Voice On Your Web Site

There's so many ways to get one's attention online - streaming video, sounds, blinking graphics and etc. But nothing gets someone's attention more than a "talking head". Someone actually talking to you.
OddCast makes animated avatars or SitePals that one can place in a web site. These talking heads add LIFE to a web site and definitely grab attention. I've recently put one of OddCast's avators on smallbiztechnology.com
They can be used to great and/or to high-light a particular offering. I've used my aviator for a combination of things. You can go beyond just a talking head and use it to ask questions and more.
As online businesses struggle to find ways to engage their audiences, OddCast's SitePals offer an ATTENTION GRABBING but professional and economical solution.
