My Avatar

I decided to use DoppleMe to create my Avatar. I found it to be very easy to create your own Avatar and to customize their wardrobe. In order to create an Avatar, I had to give my Avatar a name and enter a 4 digit security code. I then had to choose a gender, skin color and eye color to give my Avatar. The Avatar had several different expressions that I could choose from so I chose to give him a smile. In addition to common expressions to give the Avatar, there were also expressions that cost "coins." So if I wanted to give my Avatar an evil grin or a black eye, I would have had to acquire coins. The site claims you can acquire coins by referring friends or by logging on to the site every day in which you would acquire 0.2 coins per day. So if I wanted to give my Avatar an evil grin, I would have to logon to the website for the next 8 weeks which is ridiculous. Of course the website gives me the option of paying up to twenty dollars for 80 coins, so I think I'll stick to the free accessories. In addition to the necessary hair, shirt, pants and shoes I added to my Avatar I also got to choose a background and an accessory. A regular laptop cost 1 coin but a Dell laptop was free so I chose that as my accessory. I usually bring my laptop everywhere I go because it keeps me up to date with the latest news. I also chose the beach as my background as it is a feature I miss from my first two years of college at UNF in Jacksonville before I transferred to UF.
