Starting today, as part of Microsoft Corp.’s promotion the Ultimate Steal, university students from around the world will be able to create and customize their own digital alter egos, or avatars, in the Ultimate College All-Nighter and the Ultimate College Idol “playgrounds” at TheUltimateSteal.com/Sweepstakes.
With the help of Voki technology, Oddcast Inc.’s next-generation speaking avatar platform for online communities, social networks and media properties, students are able to create their characters on TheUltimateSteal.com/Sweepstakes, use their voice to create a speaking avatar story and then share their stories or songs in the online “playgrounds” on the site, publish them to other social networking sites such as Facebook, or e-mail them to their friends.
