DiS cathces up with the modern world, at last

Mr_JDTraynor [Edit] [Delete] 16:05, 22 June '08

I read this on Heat Magazine website:

"Drownedinsound.com, the no.1 chat room for lonely middle-class indie kids, is to be the first chat room in the world to use the new exciting VZ-chatXpress to replace its current bland written format.

VZ-chatXpress allows users to type in their comments which are then automatically translated into GobboTalk - Gobbotalk is a language-for-youth developed by Channel4 executives and has been used by their presenters of youth programmes for the last three years. After being translated, the words are then "spoken" by a virtual Zezi in a animated format.

Therefore, other users wanting to read comments will watch the animated video of virtual Zezi "speaking" the words.

Drownedinsound's director of Fun, Sean Adams, said 'As a resource at the forefront of communication with young people today, it is important that drownedinsound innovates as it communicates.'"

Wow.
