In the future, everyone will have an online avatar. (
Marketing Blurb just made up this
claim, but quote us if you must.) You will need an avatar to achieve ubiquity in multiple communication channels. We intend to have our avatar handle all the advertising we hope to avoid—especially mobile marketing. To get started, we are going to visit
Meez, a site when you can create mobile avatars. These are nifty characters for instant messaging and such. You can choose your hair color, clothing, and accessories until your avatar is more damned exciting than you are in real life. Sure you need to pay for this, but it seems those who pay for mobile ring tones
will pay for anything.
Forbes has
more, and the author’s avatar is smiling at you right now. Let’s advertise to her.

As a clarification, most of Meez is free to use - only a select premium collection of items are available for purchase.
But yes, we agree that everyone will have an avatar in the future to represent them :) Come check it out.
Thx, Sean Ryan
CEO, Meez
