Avatar. No. Not that Avatar.

by Walter Naeslund on January 20, 2010

Which avatar should I use? People (ok. my girlfriend) tell me that the one on the right is more me. She’s right of course. But mommy likes the one on the left. Oh dilemma.

What IS interesting is that the one on the right may be better when studying avatars more thoroughly. In this excellent post on avatars, you can read several interesting findings on avatars, one being that men, unlike women, are better off not looking into the camera in their avatar shot. If even remotely interested in the psychology of attraction, don’t miss this post!

Love both but the right one is funnier. Fun = always the best choice.

The one to the right makes it a little hard to distinguish you from the surroundings. Everything is…gray.

I started writing this post on the train right before I had to get off and accidentally posted it, thus leaving it only half way done. Now updated with the actual point (waddayanow!).

Haha! I was clearly wrong then, from an interestingness standpoint.
