Default Speaking characters at websites

There are this funny speaking characters at websites, I absolutely hate them. Do they add value to websites or make some people buy stuff from the website?

Please vote

I also HATE them. Especially when I listen some music and since I open more tabs at the same time I find myself in the situation of not knowing what the hell is happening to my computer

They are so annoying! If I can not find how to turn them off within 3-5 seconds - I am gone!

Bloody annoying - see them on sites and walk away.

I have seen them being used on directories recently (can't remember the url as left site real quick). Why why why would any directory owner want to use this on a directory?

Sitepal - just remebered what the name of this service was.

She is really annoying. They should put her in a rarar skirt and make her bounce all of your website! Her voice also isn't one you want to listen to.

Voted for "I hate them".

If present, they distract me from reading the main site content.
Annoying and unprofessional, as said before.

>(

Thanx,
Shadab.

the INSTANT someone starts talking to me from a site I leave. It is probably the most unprofessional addition anyone can make to a site!
