1. What is avatar?
Avatar (userpic) is a picture of a small size; it is displayed in the profile of a registered website user. It may be a photograph, as well as some other picture that reflects the user's being and helps partners in conversation get the most correct first impression of the user. The word itself came to Internet from Hindu mythology. Avatar means visible and/or felt incarnation of god. To put it simply, avatar is a "virtual character", an alter ego of a net surfer, and his virtual self. Avatars helps people to more fully express themselves, their mood, their inner world and their being.
