Social networking sites and avatars.
Social networking sites help people to connect with each other in the virtual world over the internet. Avatars are aids that help people to connect with each other easily. While creating icons and avatars avoid using default icons of the community. Chances are that you would be getting lost in sea of icons, instead of standing out. Icons can come in any size. Some like to use the tiny ones while others would prefer the larger ones. The bigger the size the better, as it enhances visibility. Icons can also be temporarily used to reflect the seasons.
You can even use your company logo as an icon; if it is small in size no one would think of squinting just to have a look at the icon. If you want to use real people you can use the photos of real people as icons as people like to have a second look at attractive faces. But do not go overboard and make the pictures too sexy. Perhaps you can consider using your own pictures instead of someone else’s pictures. Then people can recognize you and it could be a good base for getting you publicity and recognition. If you are trying to get social on a site then people would able to better relate to a human face. There is nothing wrong in adding a face to your name. It will also encourage more people to click on your face and read your article.
Another way to get people to click on your pictures is to use a funny or extremely interesting avatar. Create or find one that matches your personality, it can super cool or absolutely weird or extremely humorous to attract people. To attract people you can also leave valuable comments and suggestions.
Do not however tray to copy an avatar. Only a moron would do so. Be creative, design your own avatar or just use any of the free icons provided on our site. To make the decision in finalizing your choice just try out an avatar and see the response you get. See if it can get you more friends and votes. Or maybe you can just ask others if you are not able to decide. You can also exercise the option of conducting a poll and ask others to choose for you.
You can use social networking to increase the traffic to your site. You can also post an article to a major bookmarking site. Then you can send a brief message to everyone you know on the social networking site requesting them to take a minute to support your site on the bookmarking site. You can also ask them to have their network also support you. By this chances are that you will be extending your credibility on the social networking site, which will get people curious and draw traffic to your site. It would be better to organize an article post time so that others can stumble on it within a 24 hour period.
