When you first thought to choose an avatar, you probably didn’t put much more thought into it than hitting the browse button until you saw one that looked half ways decent and you hit upload. But nowadays, your entire online identity can be tied into your avatar, and it can become an iconic representation of who you are, not to mention extremely useful for branding purposes. So when you decide it is time to choose a new avatar to use across the various social media sites, here are some things to think of before you start.

A killer avatar? Like Charles Manson with a swastika on his head? Some headlines are funny by accident.

I’m trying to choose a killer comment to leave.

I so agree that avatar selection should be thought out. When people I’m following change their avatar, I no longer recognize them and won’t pay attention to their tweets or posts. I’ve been using the same one but tweaking every so often with cropping and adding logo from my twitter chat.

Good article for reading on a Saturday night--not too heavy, and relatively entertaining.
