NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - July 24, 2007) - In today's competitive marketplace, hosting
companies need to offer their current and prospective SMB customers
innovative, premium web tools. SitePal, a technology solution that allows
small business owners to create speaking avatars for any Web site, today

way to acquire, retain and up-sell SMB customers.
The SitePal speaking character platform from Oddcast is a powerful
personalization and conversion tool that's easy for SMBs to understand and
use. SitePal allows SMBs to rapidly customize and deploy a virtual
spokesperson, salesperson or customer service rep to their Web site

conversions. Thousands of SMBs pay a robust monthly subscription fee for
SitePal, which can provide hosting partners with over $100 of additional
annual revenue per subscriber.
Bravenet, the market leader in web tools, domain and hosting services, has
been offering the SitePal solution to its growing base of professional
members for over 6 months. The service signs up, on average, 4,000 new
