The Think eBiz Blog

Stephen Harris as Max Headroom.

Wow - they made me into a Oddcast Avatar star. This innovative technology is being used more and more, as broadband expands and the need to personalize increases. Clients including Cendant, Washington Mutual, L'Oréal, even Stephen King leverage Oddcast in their promotions and customer touch points. Be creative and put an Avatar face on your messaging. I want to thank my friends at Larkin/Volpatt and Oddcast for this rendering...  what do you think? Handsome devil, eh!

Say hello to the Think eBiz Avatar.

Thanks to Oddcast Media Technologies for providing me with an Oddcast SitePal account. Setting up this personal welcome message took less than 1/2 hr - very cool eh! Adding an avatar image and voice can enhance the eBusiness experience for your visitors. An enhanced level of personalization.

Take a look a how I am implemented SitePal to welcome visitors to my Zero to Network business networking blog.

And what a handsome guy, the Think-ebiz avatar! Yes, this is my real voice. No this is not my picture.  Stephen

Oddcast, a company founded in 1999 creates "conversational character products" that add a new and vibrant dimension to your eMarketing site. By  introducing a human element, you're enticing the visitor to stay around longer on your website. A new site stickiness strategy.

Unlike gimmicks of the past (spinning globes and flashing text), these "avatars" or graphic characters provide information in a near-human way. Move the mouse, the Avatar looks in that direction.  They move their mouth (better than Ashlee Simpson) in a realistic manner. And the Avatar could in fact be you by using a photo image transformed to an Avatar. You can be an on-line star, just like Max!

Avatars can also be used for e-Learning, online assistance and other site communications, where the human touch means business. Learn more at Oddcast.com
