Avatars! April 29, 2006

The big news is that Iconator now has avatars. Avatars are like giant icons that are used in web forums, Xanga, MySpace, LiveJournal, MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, Google Talk, and Skype. Phew. That’s a long list. The coolest thing about avatars is that they’re larger (96×96 pixels) so people create more expressive artwork. I’ve been really impressed by the quality of avatars submitted to the site. My goal is to have the largest avatar website on the Internet by the end of next month. We have had over 2000 avatars submitted in the first 3 days, so I think it’s an attainable goal. As far as I can tell the largest display picture / avatar site has around 5000 icons, so we might achieve it after just 1 week! So check it out and let me know what you think.
To sum it up, here’s an email I got from a user:
Thanks so much for putting avatars, I have msn and there are no good sites with cool images. Thank you so, so, so much, keep ‘em coming! Iconator rocks!

Hey - looks cool. When I’m not at work (Teehee), I might go grab myself a cool one.
Yes, please do.
And tell your friends. And co-workers. And strangers on the street. And post graffiti in the mens room. And tattoo the URL on your forehead. Much appreciated–thanks man!
