I added several weeks ago a character in the right menu of the blog French version. It is called a Skaaz. It is not hard to explain the concept, however it is much harder to define why to use it. A colleague has even told me: Are you raising a tamagotchi?
This Skaaz is kind of an avatar as it should represent someone. In this case, this Quetzal should talk like me. He should answer back instead of me in MSN or on my website. I guess Skaaz website tries to imitate Cyworld which I have mentioned in an article.
I have tested this feature as it is from a company working on language research. VirtuOz's technology is used by organizations like Neuf Cegetel for its after sale FQA, SNCF on its travel agency website...
You can test it if you want and this will also enable me to train him better in English (as new combinations will enrich his knowledge).
