I saw this really cool marketing tool a few years back.
A programmer I knew came up with this program that basically would send an avatar character out over the entire net carrying an advertising sign. He was about 2 inches high on the screen.
He would just come on your screen all of a sudden, look at you, and then walk straight across your screen carrying this mini billboard sign where a tiny ad would go.
It was a pretty neat concept and I lost touch with him. Thought it had some great potential.
So basically this little guy once turned loose on the net would search out every IP address it could find then walk across that person's display.
