    I saw an advert to create one of these somewhere, can't remember where but it can be cool/helpful in some situation, but then it could be plain annoying if some kiddy decides to use it to give us some screams :eyebrow:

    Not useful if we are in public or you have a computer without speakers (i.e. public computer), unless of course there is text to accompany it.

    Yeah, and the 'Udicsa's Black Hole' link on the right doesn't help...

    Highly annoying, there should at least be an option to turn it off. I hate it when things like that start jabbering away in the background when I'm trying to listen to music.

    Well, in a stark comparison to having to READ a website. A human voice at least.

    I tried to break my CRT with my face. Repeatedly.


    But seriously; it is a nice idea and well executed. Obviously very windy where she lives. Oh and her name.... wow, just wow. Which genius came up with that?

    I think they wasted an oppertunity in that since they have already programmed a girl to talk to us why don't they add graphics in the background to illustrate what she is saying, or bullet points which summarises what she is saying.

    Get me a PSP whilst you're there please :)

    Definately annoying. They're alright when they're text based, so you type a question and it gives you an automated text-based response by looking at the keywords in your question. Ikea had one like that a while ago called 'Anna', we got on well...
