Voki - Make your own personal Avatar

I couldn't resist passing this one along to you....
Voki.com

Voki enables users to express themselves on the web in their own voice using a talking character. You can customize your Voki to look like you or take on the identity of lots of other types of characters… animals, monsters, anime etc. Your Voki can speak with your own voice which is added via microphone, upload, or phone. And it's FREE!! Once the avitar is created, it will allow you to copy the code and paste it into a webpage.

I can see possible uses for this in our web development class and a few other Applied Arts and Technology classes.
