- babumuchhala, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Well adding avatar is a way towards mainstream. Most people just use it for voice chat once in a while, and to make it more of a daily use thinggy they have to add the popular stuff like smiles/filesharing/avatars & stuff (i know many will disagree about it here)
But the only kewl thing abt this avatars is that u can turn them on/off. Hope when they add other main stream stuff they do the same with it. - babumuchhala, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Thats what most of the common man think. But not the pro users of digg. Many at digg dont even want smiles.
- Ximensions, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I wouldn't want smilies. :)
- babumuchhala, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1They even forgot to change that size on the new pages they made :P
- haochi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Using avatars would let users easier to identify others.
- Ximensions, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yeah I'd expect the size to be larger especially with those new avatars they've added - as you mention. I wish they didn't add those, one of the things I enjoyed about google talk was its simplicity. The avatars are just superfluous.
- tidruG, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Hmm... why make a big deal out of 400 kb?
And I really don't think it's a case of cheating.... they probabyl just forgot to update their pages. - __J__, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1I don't see how this is cheating... fair enough that it's an error, but not a big deal...
