Yahoo avatars are really cool! You have the option of personifying each avatar according to your personal taste. What make the avatars cool are their unique options of background, appearance, apparel and additional signage. The wide selections of backgrounds are really interesting. Staging your avatar in different background can ultimately change their mood. The avatar website is also conveniently designed. Without scrolling, you can view your avatar plus six other design options for your avatar.On the other hand, the avatars could have more facial feature, hair style, and skin tone options. Moreover, switching back and forth between avatar selections can be quite difficult sometimes. Once you select options for your avatar, it is hard to backtrack because, yahoo avatar does not have this option available. Nevertheless, they do have the option of saving favorite avatars and selecting from those options when necessary. This makes it easy to choose your avatar depending on your mood and preference.
One thing yahoo can do, is offer the option of "undo"or "redo" to help simplify the process of creating an avatar for beginners. To better attract college students, I would highly recommend:
-University logos
-Team mascot's
-Greek letters
-Link avatars to (facebook, myspace) or create a similar site
GY: Hey Yoon!
YJ.LEE: HI
GY: How did you like the Yahoo avatar experience?
YJ.LEE: It was fun, but they need more facial features and styles.
GY: Yeah, I thought it was cool, but they could add some College logos or Greek letters to attract more college students.
YJ.LEE: I agree and maybe Yahoo could even create a site using this avatar theme.

Great suggestions! I especially agree with the "undo" "redo" options!
With the improvements you suggested do you think, if they were allowed, this would be a successful addition to Myspace/Facebook applications? Do you think members would use it and/or enjoy it?
