the klonies are officially out!

starting today you can create your own klonie for skype (http://skype.klonies.com).

we (at comverse) have been working on klonies for over a year, so it's great to finally see them live on the internet. this is just the first step. we have lots of plans for where to take klonies from here.

i believe avatars are going to become extremely popular on the web, as well as on the mobile. hopefully klonies will lead the charge in terms of content, innovation and eventually audience. i am pretty limited in terms of what i can share publicly with regard to the roadmap of klonies, so i'll try to focus more on the social and commercial aspects of the avatar trend in general.
