Oddcast.com - Media tool for talking characters

Check out “Smack Talk,” an online application allows people to create funny human and animal avatars by uploading facial photos and mixing and matching body parts. It also lets users record dialogue and can make the avatars talk.

Avatars are talking animated characterizations of real people. The company that is developing and distributing them in called Oddcast. The idea is that businesses purchase Oddcast"s avatar platform in order to personalize online communications and self-expression. On the Oddcast site you can check out their avatars, which are sophisticated and pretty realistic in their design and voice quality. Oddcast"s technology is now serving over 7,000 business customers worldwide and millions of consumers. Oddcast"s products are Web-based, ASP-hosted and can be delivered to any device including browsers, mobile devices, TV and CD-ROMs.

"There is so much noise with social networks and everyone is trying to be the next big hit," said Drew Levin, Chief Creative Officer at YFly.com. "YFly has a unique and highly desired value proposition, in that it provides the most entertaining social networking experience online. We know that everyone will laugh and have as much fun using Smack Talk as we do. Our goal is that this fun application will give YFly the awareness it needs to rise above the noise and let everyone see what a great place YFly.com is for friends to connect and have fun."

Avatars are a great addition to any company´s website, as they can provide vocal guidance to help a person navigate a site, or explanation for a product. They make companies seem more personable.

Companies can also choose to post videos and other interactive features on their sites, so avatars are not necessarily going to be the top choice for web developers.
