Avataars

Overall I think the Avatar is a cute idea, but more for a younger crowd. It was fun to create the avatar, but I think the clothing selection needs improvement. I didn’t find very many appealing options with the cloths and the colors and styles of the cloths just seems like they would appeal to younger people more than my age group. Though it was fun to create the avatar, I don't think I would ever use it. I don’t really understand what it is for. I know that you use it when using yahoo messenger, but I don't use yahoo messenger. I did think it was a cute idea however that you can change the avatar’s mood and their facial expression changes. I think younger kids would really enjoy using the Avatar, but I feel that people my age wouldn’t really see its purpose.

With the improvements you suggested do you think, if they were allowed, this would be a successful addition to Myspace/Facebook applications? Do you think members would use it and/or enjoy it?

I thought Avataars were interesting but I agree with you, it does not appeal to me and I do not think it will appeal to my generation. I am too busy to keep it up.
