Time To Get Funky

How many of you use a service like MySpace, Facebook or Twitter? How many of you participate in online forums? What do all of these have in common? If you said avatars, then you just read my mind!

I found a pretty cool website the other day that allows you to take your favorite pictures, and transform them into really kick-ass avatars for free!.

This website is called BeFunky, and it can manipulate your pictures in two ways (From their website):

1. Cartoonizer:
   
   
   
   If you’re a fan of funky-looking cartoons and comics, you're going to be all over this.
   
   
   
2. Uvatar:
   
   
   
   Avatars are boring and generic. Take your online persona further with Uvatar

If you like those, then coming soon you will love their Video Cartoonizer they are comming out with. According to their site, Video Cartoonizer allows you to, "put yourself in the director’s chair and turn your home movie into an animated feature film."



Pretty cool right? Here is one I did of myself:



If you use this tool, I want to see your handy work! Post a link to your image in the comments!

This morning I was on Digg, and I saw a really funny cartoon from The Joy of Tech that pokes a little fun at the web 2.0 giant. I thought I would re-post it here for your enjoyment:
