Very cool website and resource for those looking to add some life and interactivity to their own sites. Create a 3D Avatar for your site at Sitepal. You can either use one of their 250 “stock” Avatars, or upload your own photo, so that you are the one doing the talking! Record any message or messages that you would like, and your Avatar can then talk to visitors, share benefit statements and other promotional messages with them, and provide a lively “call to action” when they are on your site.

Google wants to be your one-stop center on the web – as does Facebook – and Buzz has all the ingredients to finally make that happen. It could be THE place for sharing not just your conversations, but photos, videos, and everything else. Will it ever live up to its full potential, and become a true Facebook killer?
The main reason Facebook is such a serious threat to Google is not just because of the massive amount of users it has - but the amount of time those users stay on Facebook. If you look at only an Alexa comparison alone, Facebook users spend over 30 minutes on the site, which More >
