Well I have been a bit of a busy bee recently doing a load of work but I haven't really done a lot in regard to the 4 week diary of a avatar thing so I thought that I'd do a little bit more for that. Everywhere I look on the Internet I seem to see advertisements for this program IMVU so I thought I'd check it out and see what it's like.Well to begin with I was very happy that it was free (well kind of but I'll come to that it a bit), you choose a basic starting avatar when you register in the beginning, so I chose the one that looked the most like me and registered my avatar with the name 'tunderball2' (I normally use 'tunderball' as my online alias) and continued.
Once it was downloaded I found it very easy to edit my avatar, again like with the Xbox Live Avatar system it is very easy to use, however one thing I found was that a lot of the clothes and hair styles have to be downloaded for credits and although you get some to begin with you have to pay cash to get them afterwards so only the really keane players have all the cool stuff and look how they want to. But still I was able to put together an avatar that looks something like me, one thing I do like is the anime style of the program this works really well.
It is them really easy to start to chat with people, this isn't as epic as Second Life you can more around in a small room and have a chat with some people and that's about it but I quite like it because it's so simple. It's quite a good way to meet new people I don't think that I'll use it any more than I have to, for research into this project.
