There are some folks who are admitted “avatar flippers,” and knowing that makes it easier. But these random “change your avatar” things drive me nuts in terms of information processing. The other one is the “Display Name” versus “User Name” conundrum. When I’m reading your tweets in Twitterrific, it’s your chosen name (e.g., Aaron Hockley), but when I’m reading tweets via RSS, it’s your user name (e.g., ahockley). Not a terribly difficult intuitive leap in your case. But some are a complete non sequitor. And then, it suddenly dawns on me how much I’ve shown my cards by obsessing over the minutiae of Twitter. So I’ll shut up. I completely agree. There are some folks who are admitted “avatar flippers,” and knowing that makes it easier.

An epic clash of creative expression versus personal brand ubiquity. (did I just make that up?)
