I've had a Yahoo email account for a few years now and I have never come across the avatars! I thought creating an avatar was so much fun. There are so many different choices of clothing and accessories, but I felt like there could have been more choices in the appearance category. There were only about eight choices for different faces and you were able to choose your eye color. I think there should be a separate category for each feature of the face - one for eyes, one for lips, one for nose, etc. Everyone is so different and unique that I think the features are too general to accurately resemble a specific person.
Another good idea might be to make the appearance category more interactive. There should be a feature where you can click and drag certain parts of your face or body to make them bigger or smaller and longer or shorter because everyone is a different shape and size.
Overall I enjoyed creating an avatar on Yahoo. However, as I mentioned before, I've had a Yahoo account for a few years and have never heard of avatars. Honestly I didn't even know what an avatar was. Maybe there should be more advertisement of avatars so members are more aware of what they're able to do with them!

More advertisement and the interactive appearence suggestions are great! I totally agree!
I didn't really know what an avatar was either...I knew it was a character, but I didn't know it was so interactive/creative.
Thanks Amanda! It is funny how we are surrounded by tons of technology and use the internet on a daily basis, yet there's still so much we don't konw about or utilize!
