It is believed that avatars help users to recognize their online contacts, because a picture can be easier to remember and recognize than the sometimes cryptic user names. Many people are using avatars to express their current mood, because IM protocols allow their users to change the picture at any time. Often, avatars are used to indicate certain personal preferences like a favorite band, actress or other celebrity.
