Web Presenters...?!

Just a quick one... Has any one got or used a web presenter on their website?

For those of you that have no idea what i'm talking about, I mean those videos of real people that walk about on a webpage giving a company introduction and talking about services.

I was just trying to gather thoughts and public opinions as I've been on 5-6 sites in the last week that have them integrated.

Hi Charlie, I have seen the good, the bad and the ugly. I will drop you a PM

Cheers

Client of mine once had one of their site - I hated it, they loved it (it was on autoplay so every time I went to work on the site, that stupid woman start rabbitting on)

Haven't used one myself, but they always annoy me. Sure, it is useful at times, but I'd rather be given the option.

Saw a good one the other day which had a YouTube style 'play' button over her, so you could play it if you wanted to, rather than it surprising the hell out of you, especially when you may have forgotten what volume the speakers had been set to!

ha ha. When I first saw it, I was amazed. When I revisited the website, I was actually rather annoyed - I'd heard it once already. I suppose unless you're tracking it by cookies to turn the thing off, it probably annoys the average Joe.
