Free these days is never free which is why when a truly freeservice comes online with no strings attached itÂ's worthy being written about.
Depending upon which way you look at it avatars came online about 5,000 years ago,or just after Neil StephensonÂ's 1992 science fiction novel, Snow Crash appeared onthe market and was wholeheartedly adopted by the online community as the bible ofavatar use.
Since then the widespread usage of avatars in Instant Messengers like Yahoo!, MSNand online forums as well as cha services like Skype and ICQ has led to a massivesurge in their online use which, however, works against the individuality of theonline digital image.
Amerland Enterprises have launched an entirely free avatar creation service whichallows you to create an avatar according to your own specifications and fromgraphics or photographs you supply. That way you are guaranteed to have a uniqueonline avatar representing your digital presence.
Company CEO, David Amerland, explains the decision: Â We abhor the sameness ofavatars on the net. Avatars were created to be unique. The very fact that they areall the same because of limited choice or because you have to pay to create oneannoys us!Â
It was this annoyance, apparently, which led to the decision to crate the freeavatar creation service utilising spare capacity in the companyÂ's graphics designteam.  We know that there is a cost involved, says David,  we are willing toexperiment and see how it goes. We get some free publicity and we do our bit for theimprovement of the online community and best of all it is totally free. The servicerequires nothing from the end user. You do not have to register for anything, thereis nothing to sign up for, we donÂ't even store your email address after you havesent us the pictures or graphics and we have designed your avatar. We really believein the power of the net and go to great lengths not to abuse it. This is a true freelunch in every sense of the word.Â
David Amerland did not explain what would happen should the company get flooded withemails requesting the avatar creation service. Â We stand behind it. Should we findourselves inundated we will find a way to deal with it, but right now we areprepared to allocate resource time as necessary.Â
