All the smiles you see on people’s Facebook and Twitter avatars. Image: seanbjack via Flickr, CC 2.0. Are they real? Are they really as happy as that smile would make you believe? Or is that a way for them to face reality and get through life, one day at a time? I would really like to know what’s behind the smile.

It’s not like the helicopters were partiularly good at the swoopy-Imax film style anyway… The Edge cinema (presumably they funded the IMAX movie of the same name) showed Avatar on the big screen but in the normal film format (not the big print). I liked the latter bestest. Valley of the falls, wentworth falls blue mountains.

And yes, it can now be revealed that the avatar I've been using on Facebook was in fact tied to this project. There's also a Flickr set with everyone's avatar , in case you'd like to see them a little more closely. They were responsible for The Social Media Playbook , the Blog Tree , and a little cartoon about hashtags.

Social media is not about Facebook or MySpace or Flickr or Twitter or blogs or YouTube. Too often we see social media strategies that involve putting photos into Flickr, videos into YouTube or the creation of a Facebook application and then never revisiting the environment to engage with the communities around this content.

Choose a Profile Picture No matter what your reasons for using the service are, I believe everyone should at least take a minute to update their profile with a picture (also known as an avatar). In other words, your avatar is going to be seen in a lot of places on the service so pick something memorable. Great work Glen.

We started a Flickr group. How do you do that as an avatar? I know a number of avatars who’ve become very successful online in many different niches. People used to leave comments and it used to be quite a few people. This post had 6–7 people leave a comment. Things have changed a bit. It can still be done.
