Wow... The internet just took a turn for the worse...
Out in internet world we are bombarded by Hundreds of Thousands of Ads vying for our clicks and pressuring us to buy online for amazing savings. Admittedly there are dollars to save by shopping online. However, livefaceonweb has taken the internet to a whole new level of low.
Using their advertising 'service' you provide the script and they provide the model of your choosing to become the face of your website.
I feel that this kind of advertising is right on par with loading a MIDI file right when the page loads. Sure its ok for youtube but could you imagine a series of popups with the highly polished voices all asking you to click on them to go to the order page. It's gaudy beyond anything I have seen online because is just so incredibly inauthentic. If your going to have a taking head on your website make it your own, and only because you absolutely have to. It's a waste of bandwidth and completely unnecessary for most applications.
Don't believe me? Just visit their samples page and see for yourself, on any of these websites.

- vernondaniel.com
- campofchamps.com * Worst of all.

The one glimmer of hope that the service offers is that you can pause and even turn off the presentation. However you can expect more of this kind of crap out in the internet as the service is available in English, Spanish, French, Chinese (Cantonese and Mandarin), German, Italian, Korean, Russian and Vietnamese.
