What is an Avatar?

Can my online appearance *BE* more gay?

I got a link in my spam email today for trying out Yahoo! Avatar:

And I came up with this: Yahoo! Avatars"YIKES!

I tried to make my little avatar buddy as asexual as possible. Did it work?

AND WHAT EXACTLY ARE THESE AVATAR THINGS FOR, ANYWAY?

An Avatar is nothing more than your digital represntation in a particular venue. These grew out of proto community sites like Worlds-Chat back in the day when bandwidth concerns really limited the feasability of putting your actual photo online.

So a grayish blob of liquid is someone's idea of his digital representation?

Do you like my avatar's t-shirt?

Only if you are trying to use it as a pick-up line in a gay bar...

I was thinking this is more gay than Tal's little blob.
