Minigao.com - Create Free Avatars

You spend more and more time of your day online and you are probably a member of more than one social networking site. If you’d like to represent yourself better online without showing the whole world a picture of yourself, then an avatar is the ideal solution. Minigao allows you to create your own customizable avatar that can look just like you, or more like the person you always dreamed of being. You can try out the avatar creator without registration and creating an avatar is simple with a surprising array of cool tools and functions available. There is currently a competition being run at Minigao, where you can vote for the best avatar under a number of categories. Finally, webmasters can add Minigao to their site and thereby allow their users to create their own avatars directly from within their own environment.

“Create your avatars for free. Use them wherever you want, as you want.”

This is a really fun and well designed tool that people will really enjoy using. Using an avatar instead of a picture of yourself in your profile is certainly a safer and more private way of living your online life.

While they claim to be multilingual, the actual avatar engine appears to be currently available only in French. It is still relatively easy to create an avatar without speaking French but in order for this to really catch on in the English-speaking world, they will need to invest in a bit of translation.
