Let Site Pal do the Talking

I came across Site Pal, a nice web application that lets you incorporate an embodied conversational agent on your web site. I created a demo right-away. They even have something special for bloggers called iJoomla (?), but I only stayed long enough to get the example below: Downsides? You have to pay at least 10$ a month, and she (or he) does not gesture. In fact, the 'embodied' agent does not even have arms. Sadly enough I found this out while I was wondering about her other body parts, where a man's eyes normally drift. She didn't have those either. Suddenly a website's content seems such a trivial matter.
