Well, it is definitely not something I would experiment with myself - much less pay any type of fee to sitepal for. But if it could be implemented into the standard e-commerce site, I would think the contact us page could be a candidate.

Personally, I like the idea of including a picture of a customer service representative on the contact us page: it humanizes the process and gives the impression that you are writing to an actual person, opposed to a faceless corporation.

In the context of sitepal, could this be an other way to establish a personal connection? What about for the `help` pages of technology sites? I refuse to believe that the program is 100% useless  
......There has to be one e-commerce site out there (maybe even 2) that could implement it in a profitable manner.

No one said SitePal was 100% useless - although I certainly wouldn`t use it. The topic question was: SitePal: Annoying Or Cute?

I`ve noticed more and more small businesses are using SitePal`s virtual talking characters to enhance their website and increase sales. I personally don`t use SitePal characters on my site, because I think they`re annoying. But what do you think?

Are SitePal`s virtual talking characters annoying or cute?

How do you feel, when you come across a website that has one?

Very very very annoying and unprofessional.

EXTREMELY annoying!

I hate those things. If there`s one, I`m out of there. I`d never have one mostly because I wouldn`t want to attract the type of visitor who`d find it appealing.

Annoying for most...I am no exception.  It does have a bit of a cool factor for many though.  Maybe if it was not automatically on, but maybe if users could opt to have a site pal come on if they click a prominent link on the main page.  People like choices.
