There are two flavors available: basic and premium.  The basic service is free, but carries Oddcast branding and doesn’t let the publisher control the advertising.  The premium version allows total customization, let’s you control the advertising, and includes extra features such as messaging so users can share their avatars with friends and drive them to your site.   It will cost you at least $2,000/mo, however.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://mashable.com/2008/05/13/oddcast-api/"><A href="http://mashable.com/2006/06/16/sitepal-takes-4-million-plugs-into-myspace/">OddCast</A> also targets individual consumers with <A href="http://mashable.com/2007/05/09/voki/">widgets</A> that you can place in your various social networking profiles.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/2B8EF65D-5C1E-41BA-A097-25BBBC7E84D1/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
