		<description>Avatars give people the ability to display their personal character or personality. Many times you can get a general idea for the person&#039;s personality just by their avatar.</description>

		<description>I dont normally use an avatar but I find myself paying more attention to the avatars that display a persons picture. It just seems more welcoming placing a face with someone you are conversing with.

A brand logo would work as well to give brand association. Artistic avatars dont give enough space to really have an impact in my opinion.</description>

		<description>This is pretty good information.  I never really thought about the importance of an avatar.  It seems like consistency of avatar usage is important is so you can be identified.  Having a different one was each blog or whatever won&#039;t allow your followers to make a connection.  If I aw the same unique avatar on two separate sites, I would know for sure that avatar belongs to the same person</description>

		<description>I like the idea of having a different avatar for different blogs and such.  I just wish i would have thought of that a long time ago.  I am now stuck with many of the same that I&#039;m not fond of.  lol.

I have come to see how usefull they can be though.</description>

		<description>Regardless of what you use for your logo, it&#039;s important that you remain consistent across all of your social profiles.

I look at the Shoemoney logo above and think this is one example of exceptional branding.</description>

		<description>An army of virtual friends? There&#039;s hope for me yet. What a great idea.  If you need sources of avatar inspiration look no further than your favourite stock photo sites.</description>
