FOR, June 13: VOKI

This week's Featured Online Resource is voki.com, which one of our librarians, Dr. Sean Henry, discovered yesterday. Like xtranormal.com, it supplies animated characters for short videos (60 seconds max at voki) you can create and share. However, unlike xtranormal, you can use your own or any recorded voice if you so choose; you can also use text-voice mode. Characters run the expected gamut of alternakids, anime-type characters, animals, celebs. Videos are widely-embeddable and ready to share. I made one this morning in about five minutes. And here it is.
