Avatar Rant

I was very disappointed in the avatar-making tools for 23 Things. Avatars can be fun, and there are a number of good ones out there, such as theSimpsons or South Park ones. The ones recommended at 23 Things offered so few choices clothing- or body type-wise that, unless you're a skinny anime-loving teenybopper, there really isn't any way to make an avatar even close to what you look like. It's fun to do, and avatars can be useful in establishing your online "persona" (if you will) but I would implore the 23 Things folks to do a little better research on avatar creators. End rant.
