This is completely new to me...I'm usually pretty up to date on all the online stuff, but I had never even heard of a Yahoo Avatar until now. It took me a little bit to figure out how to use it, I just started clicking and before you knew it I was wearing a hot outfit standing in a sushi restaurant. Since I've been sick the past few days it nice to create an image of what I would like to be doing if I felt better. I think it is neat how you can create different moods and images and scenes for yourself.
However I think this would have been really fun for me it I was younger. I don't really do the online chatting thing anymore, not that there is anything wrong with it, but I mostly just use my computer for school work, and checking my e-mail. It's my last year of college and I really have to stay focused on what I am doing when I'm using the computer. This neat little program would be something I could get off track and be distracted with. I think that a good target market for this item would be high school kids, especially girls. Since chatting online is really popular with that age group, I could see them using this tool as a way to express themselves. Honestly for me, the characters seemed to be too much of a cartoon like figure for my interest.
It’s a neat idea; it’s just not for me:)

Good points! Esp about trying to keep on track...the avatar definitely makes time go by rather quickly and you don't even realize how much time you've "wasted".
Do you think folks that use Myspace/Facebook would enjoy an application like this?
