Have you always wanted to become an avatar? With sites becoming more and more interactive, how long will it be before we all have our own virtual personal assistant? Greeting you in the morning with current personal news and weather information, essentially your iGoogle with the appearance of being delivered by a friend. One who you can totally control the appearance of, on a day-to-day basis.

How about a personal coach, could you employ an avatar to deliver motivational messages? How about messages from a lost love one. Could your favorite celebrity  profess their undying love for you each morning as you arise? Talk about putting words into people mouths!

Oddcast.com does just that. Good or bad, how do you feel about it. Who knows what YOUR avatar could be saying to someone.

Check out the Photoface as well.

Does this appeal to you, or just creep you out?
