A Blogger Pact for the New Millennium: Lets Be Honest About Avatars

Mr. Mad Face

I’ve been using this picture for almost a year. Today, this anonymous commenter on TechCrunch pointed our that I looked angry. Thank you for your refreshing honesty Mr. Mad Face:

Dude, what’s with the angry avatar?
FYI: You don’t look serious, you look really pissed off.

So, lets make a pact – from one blogger to another: please tell me when my profile picture sucks, and I’ll be sure to do the same for you.
