Yahoo Avatars!

When we received the assignment to create a Yahoo Avatar, I remembered that I created my own avatar awhile ago, but had completely forgot about it because I don't really use yahoo that much on a regular daily basis. Upon signing into yahoo and seeing my avatar, I remembered how much fun it was to create an online cartoon of myself and not with just a creative screen name or cute icon, but a very amazing caricature of how I perceive myself.
I began to tweak my avatar just a little bit to fit my current life (i.e., a lecture hall background, casual college clothes, etc.) and found that there was so much to choose from. I thought there was a great variety of clothing, backgrounds, and accessories, but one thing I'd like to see would be a pulldown list of collegiate apparel and acessories, as well as more detailed facial features. These could really pull a lot of people in and college students would love to add another site to their list of daily favorites (But don't get any ideas, facebook will not be stopped for now as the number 1 site for college students to waste away their time :) ).
