I can think of a 1000 funny messages I would like to create with this idea but I can also see business uses that would be innovative. Can't wait to learn more. How great are Beema’s avatars!

I can think of many more uses for this technology other than avatars, etc. And yes, I've seen similar products on other sites; but Beema got it right. It's a lot sharper and cleaner than Vidiator (and the others). Nice job! Extremely cool and easy to use.

Different type of businesses are possible with the use of avatars, 3D and rendering technologies. B2C messaging is for sure an interesting application. We at H-care are on the enterprise side of this trend, with the Human Digital Assistant giving multichannel customer assistance and real-time 3D rendering on thousands of concurrent channels. All the best to Beema! This is a good example of how 3D-like technologies can give a “human-like” flavor to media and communication.

I wish you would include a monetization question with every new company review you post: How does this make money? And have a policy of not accepting advertising as an answer unless there is a contextually relevant model. And yes, that was comment spam. Another non-business story on Techcrunch.
