Zwinky?

Zwinkies are customizable social avatars that are part of the MyWeb Searchbar on computers running Windows. A user creates a non-animated cardboard-like character (a Zwinky) to represent himself or herself in any networking site or blog that supports Zwinkies.

Basically, you create a cartoon version of yourself! You can change the body shape, the skin color, hair, everything to make it look more like you. Not only this, but you can change the clothes they are wearing and even the places they hang out!

Personally, I think it is a bit much. I used to have a Zwinky but that was during the summer when I pretty much had nothing to do! I had a baby so I couldn't really go anywhere, so I turned to my computer for entertainment!

I think if you have that much time on your hands, you could figure out something else to do!
