I am not really knowledgeable about online Avatars but King sent me this link and I HAD to share it with you all. "The Forest" by Jason Stewarts. In case you're not familar with avatars like me, it means
"Avatars are icons or representations of users in a shared virtual reality. Within online virtual communities and Internet forums, avatars are pictures that users display alongside thier contributions to represent themselves. Avatars have also become popular in instant messaging and are also referred to as buddy icons." From Pinkmagazine.com
What's even more interesting is people end up spending their "lives" in these online virtual reality/worlds. People exchange monetary value items and people in REAL life are making a living in these virtual worlds. Absolutely mind boggling to live a life online instead of there here ad now.
