Avatars let you meet your customers online
September 26, 2005
Lluna is a virtual presence project. What does that mean and why do we want more like it?
According to the site:
LLuna2 lets you meet other people on web pages…… with animated avatars, video, bubble chat, private chat, and personal profiles through the Jabber protocol
Now consider this. Have you often wondered how people got to your website, how can you help them better or what can you do more effectively to turn them into customers?
One day soon you - or a member of your online customer services staff - will be able to ask them.
UPDATE: Just spotted in PC Magazine. The increasing importance of avatars in online communications.
They represent not only a new, $200 million (and rapidly growing) IT market, they represent people in a personalized manner—in e-mail, instant messaging, blogs, chat rooms and other internet services.
