Site Pal has been around for a while now, and still, no matter what I read or hear about them, all I can think is how much
I hate those cartoon Site Pal characters.
They just don't add a level of professionalism to a website unless it's for kids. In my opinion, they are just silly.
Not that Bubble Guru is the best thing in the world either,
but I do think the personalized video message aspect is a much better idea then cartoons.
They just seem more real, and I think my visitors feel better about having someone actually relating to them.
I signed up for a free Bubble Guru account yesterday, and while the creation process was really easy and fast, what I really like is the way the video messages float above my webpage and then disappear when my message is done

.
Makes finding a spot on page to place it a none issue.
Also, updating my messages took only 30 seconds!...really, I'm not kidding you. It was really fast.
