Skype Klonies Avatars

Skype now offers cartoonish avatars.


Some of the avatars remind me of the banner ads I saw all over the web of "cartoonist young girl avatars" where they made the young girls all "dolled" up with makeup (fake eyelashes, lipstick, etc.) to look like a sexy woman - kinda like the Bratz dolls, but not the Bratz dolls. I can't seem to recall the name of the avatar website. If you know, post a comment.

In any event, here's the news:
Skype announced today Skype Klonies™, an innovative avatar that lets users personalize Skype with special characters to reflect their personalities, moods and interests.
- Using the new Klonies Studio in the Personalize Skype Web store, users can create and frequently update their unique Klonie image — changing hairstyles, clothing and accessories, expressions, locations, animated activities and more.
- Klonies will appear as the Skype Caller ID on the screen of the called party, representing how the user would like to be seen, and reflecting the user's appearance, interests, and feelings.
- As part of the launch and as the world’s attention turns to soccer for the World Cup, a special “Football Mania” content catalogue has been created, which will allow users to dress their Klonies in fans’ clothing and accessories, perform the well-known “ola wave” in the football stadium, and much more.
