Branding yourself and your blog with Avatar
On April 27, 2008 in General
Blog is the easy way for personal branding in web 2.0. Personal branding is about branding yourself. It is about your own identity. With the increase of social sites, you can brand yourself with avatars(The small image you use to identify your profile).
IBM and Linden Lab (Creators of Second Life) are working on creating universal avatar standards that will enable our cartoon stand-ins to shuffle unimpeded from one virtual world to the next. There lies a big business after Avatars.
Avatars will be the next important issue of Web 2.0. People will die to create their own unique avatars after an year. Why not we do it now? Lets create a unique avatar for your blog and for your social network profiles.
Easy way to create your own Avatars:
I used to have Prince Arthas (A character from Warcraft game) as my avatar for many days. Later I decided to create a unique avatar and contacted a graphic designer at DP forum. His price for creating a unique avatar is around $65 which I’m not ready to afford. So I searched for free avatar generators and then comes Zwinky. Zwinky is a unique type of social network which is similar to second life. You can create nice avatars with zwinky. All you have to do is just download zwinky tool to your PC, register an account and play with it. i created my avatar with Zwinky. There are lot of customizations you can perform with your avatar using Zwinky. You can view some avatars of me at my Gallery
Very nice layout! The avatars are sick!

I really do not understand people who pay to get an avatar done. They should take the time and create one for themselves. Even though you can modify your Zwinky, odds are someone else has already created on that is very similar.
I agree with Steph. Anyone can take some time to be creative and get one done. Fireworks would be a great help.
