    @MODS, besides there first post bizzbuzz post have been fairly unpopular(including the disgraceful SPAM live emails thread), can they have a go in the sin bin until they come up with something that will appeal to the general community? have a look at there post history. pretty appauling!

    I just think they dont seem to be a great match for the ozb community, they are more focused towards businesses…which from what i've seen, most people on here are not…

        LOL woohoo!

        bizzbuzz will welcome you back when you have more general deals, ie that first postage one that everyone could use was pretty cool…

          It's not so much more general deals. More, deals of actual use and worth to people other than those too clueless to recognise a rotten idea when presented with one.

          At least IMO.

      • [Deactivated] on 07/10/2011 - 12:49

    live and virtual is an oxymoron…

      Yes exceptionally. Most people have the ability to read your crappy marketing spiel themselves. I'm sure if you did any research you would probably find that 99.99% of users look for the first way to kill off these stupid videos (it's not innovative, it's pointless and annoying).

        Especially if you are visiting a um, sensitive site, and people nearby can overhear. :)

          And if they don't have a clear option to mute the damn thing,

          BTW, I got myself a chrome extension called "mute Tab" that mutes offending tabs :-)

      Absolutely. Websites must be silent. I don't care how important you think you are, if your website makes a noise I did not explicitly request you can FOAD. :/

      At least next time, as I click the little red X to leave such a site immediately, I can console myself with the fact that they probably wasted $990 implementing that annoying feature.

      Did the microsoft office 2000 "office assistant" not teach everyone the lesson how anonoying popup assistants are ?

      One might as well just use the blink tag! Just as annoying, but much cheaper to implement..

    Website presentation should be taken care of by HTML and CSS, not flash and javascript. A 'presenter' just consumes your potential client's bandwidth and cpu cycles. Why do you think your website deserves that?

    $990 reduced to $299?
    I'd rather buy a USB drive that was $17 reduced to $15.

      MAN she's fugly, they could have at least hired some actors that where appealing to the eye and they used her for there front page too! really not that great advertising!

      side note it just occured to me bizbuzz is a business about bargain advertising, not bargains per say…odd…

        "MAN she's fugly"

        I think an animated character would be better than an slightly fat, ugly actor with crap 80s clothes/hair.
        It would drive away sales and make the site look amateur…. bur overall no host at all for the win.

    WE SHOULD GET ONE FOR OZBARGAINS, WE COULD HAVE JV COME UP ON YOUR SCREEN AND TELL YOU WHY EACH BARGAIN IS CRAP! AND HOW MUCH IT WAS BEFORE, AND PROVE THAT THERE ARE NO REAL SAVINGS TO BE HAD!!!!!

    AHHH CAPSLOCK, cruse control for cool :D

    sorry about that got a bit excited!

    • dealhunt on 07/10/2011 - 11:16

      • wisc on 07/10/2011 - 11:23

        well either jv or a nekkid chick, but as ozbargain is aimed as a family site and the actors from that site didnt seem like anyone i'd perticually want to see nekkid.

          I don't think there's much of a choice there for a family oriented website. I mean, who'd want to expose their children to jv? ;)

    I find this extremely annoying on websites. So paying aud299 for a feature that might annoy and chase away potential customers? hardly worth it.

  • spacenoodle on 07/10/2011 - 11:22

    To anyone reading this, please for the love of god do not put one of these terrible things on your website. It is the fastest way to drive away customers. Embed a video on your site that the user can decide to play or not, hijacking a browsers sound without a users permission is so 90's and is the fastest way to have someone to leave your webpage.

    Plus, 300 bucks? My god, find a friend with an HDSLR and Finalcut Pro. The technical expertise required to make this stuff is minimal at best. Do a YouTube search for "How to Key Out Green Screen" and in 20 minutes you have learned what these people are charging 300 bucks for.

    But they always look good in Sci-fi movies.
    Especially when they say "Get your ass to Mars"
    or "You have 10 seconds to comply"

  • King Tightarse on 07/10/2011 - 16:46

    I am shocked at how awkward and scruffy the presenter they are using to "promote" this is…what were they thinking???

    Need to travel to Japan and get the tiny, weeny, embryonic beginnings of a clue about corporate presentation.
