(survey)-do you think animal pics get more attention than regular avatars?

Hmm... good question, I was wondering if people get recognised by their name or their pic, and I think the pic gets recognised first especially if it's not an avatar, cos there's loads that look the same. Having said that when you gave yourself a pic I didn't really recognise you, and thought someone else was using your nickname cos I'm so used to seeing you with a smiley face!!\nTo sum up, I do think animal pics are more noticable than avatars.

They are neither. There are literally tens of thousands of different combinations of features, skin, hair, clothes, backgrounds, etc.. to choose from. If someone has a stereotypical or superficial avatar it's because they made it that way, not Yahoo!.

Why do you ask the sme question twice? like i said the other time,\n\nTo tell you the truth, I'd like to see a pic of you. All the avatars look the same (in a way) and I'm getting sick of it. I'm changing mine (just not a pic of me though!) I think you should go with a picture of you. Especially if your photogenic :)\n\nP.S. great question

You should try to get a background of "Winter Baby" - I looked at your page and noticed the cool pup in the photos.\n\n: D

great... now you're putting the PRESSURE on!  i haven't done a lot of 'chat room' activity, and i'm just getting started with the blogging... but i am totally immersed in this site and i know exactly what you mean.   (your enthusiasm is bubbling over... careful!)  \n\nthe way answers lets you 'track' people using thier avatars is what i like most... and i think it lets you get to know a person better than any chat room.  you could click back and follow my 'portfolio' for 6 weeks, and you'd learn more about me by what i'm interested in, how i respond, and the words i use, than you could ever get out of any blog or chat room.  \n\ngreat? (i'm flattered!:)

Good questions! Let's ad to them.- Why is it our avatars have to have a back ground, clothes, accessories and pets, even though all that we see of it is the head?

I think the greatest consideration is the question posed. You really don't need an "attractive avatar".

I get some really good pics by putting words like....gothic or mystical or pagan or witch into either yahoo or google images...it hooks you right up with the photos and can lead to some cool links too. I'm sure it would work well with the words dragon or skulls...you'll get alot you don't need but the page is full so choosing what suits you is easy.

There is one chubby or "beer-bellied" male avatar.\n\nI think having some showing signs of age would be great - younger looking ones (even children) and older folks as well.\n\nWe live in a superficial world... why not a superficial internet? It's disgusting really. You know, a lot of people spend their time wishing they were thinner or had perfect skin/hair/etc. Now, that they can be that "perfect image" we want them to look realistic. Go figure.

Excuse me, how will you download the Avatar?\nYou can download the Image. If you edit then , I don't think it will be illegal unless you use it for commercial purpose.

I agree!  I am older too, and I've noticed the same thing.  HOWEVER, I'm not sure I'd choose the avatar with the wrinkles!  haha  I do wish they would give more choices on the faces.  There are lots and lots of choices on backgrounds and clothing, etc, but not enough on our actual looks.\n\nI guess you could upload your own picture, but I'm a little more private than that.

I guess it would depend on what kinds of pics you are talking about. What is the URL?  LOL!

I personally haven't seen any yet. I would suggest start looking for online avatars that are animated.

I THINK YOUR AVATAR IS CUTE.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I would have to say it is pretty sad that you have to put someone else's picture on the Yahoo's Q&A- that you may not like and/or make fun of someone else. Maybe you need to get a life? How about you post your own "real" picture and let us do a survey on you?
