TALK ABOUT TALKING HEADS
Our pal Andy Havens, over at the Legal Marketing blog, puts a new definition on "talking head." When you log onto Andy's blawg, his broadcast-quality voice can be heard emanating from an animated head... (Think Conan O'Brien). He does a quick little animation-cast (about 60 seconds). It's quite entertaining.
I think the proper geek word is "avatar." Andy tells me the service is provided by oddcast.com.
And check this out -- Andy's eyes will follow your mouse! Really! Check it out. For comparison, here is his mug in a traditional medium (to the right).
Truly clever!
Update 3/14: Andy decided to euthanize the avatar (actually he insists it has simply been exiled to an offshore server in the Bahamas where it is reading poetry. Why? Too many complaints that it was irritating. (It was cute, but got quickly annoying because you couldn't turn it off.)

• Authentic voice is more attractive than "PR-Speak" to many customers Legal services are a perfect match for blogs -- the law is content-heavy.... How much more mainstream do we need to get before you'll wake up and smell the bacon?
