On this blog (and many others), if you post a comment your personal avatar will automatically accompany your comment — assuming that you have an avatar assigned to your e-mail address using either Gravatar or MyBlogLog (both free services).
Many of you have yet to assign yourselves avatars. These can be comic characters (as I use) or graphic illustrations, or photos (of yourself or some object). So how about it? I’d love to see more photos and illustrations accompanying your comments!
(And I have some personal interest in this, since one of the projects I’m working on will let people create personal avatars. That’s not ready yet, but there are plenty of other options for creating avatars of yourself; or just use a photo.)

I’m doing a little market research for a project and would greatly appreciate your advice. My question: What would you do with a personal avatar that looked like a comic-strip version of you? How would you use it? What uses could you foresee for a comic avatar of your face and body, or just your face (digital or physical-world)?
Here are a couple examples of comic avatars. Also see the comic avatar of me at the top of this page.
Leave a comment here or send me a private message. Thanks for your help!

Can anyone advise me on a Twitter feed challenge? See the comic avatar of me in the upper right of this blog page? There’s a talk balloon, and I’d like to get my latest post from Twitter to show inside that balloon. (That is, the balloon is updated with new text whenever I post a new tweet.)
Anyone got any suggestions for pulling that off? Thanks!!
