Snapatar

One of the things that people love to customize when they’re online is their avatar on the services that they use. While the Internet is personal in some ways, it’s also very impersonal, and that’s why avatars are nice because they help individuality to shine through. It may sound ridiculous, but you can tell a lot about a person by just looking at their avatar. Since Twitter is the latest and greatest thing online right now, a lot of attention is placed on a person’s avatar because it’s one of the few things that can be customized. If you don’t want to just have the same old picture all the time, give Snapatar a try.

This service enables you to take a picture from your webcam and upload it to Twitter as your avatar. The process is simple and happens on just one page. Once you snap the picture, you then enter your Twitter account information and send it to Twitter. This simplified process may actually encourage you to change your picture more often because you don’t have to go through a series of more complicated steps.
