FACEBOOK AVATAR – Filipino celebrities have also joined the Facebook Avatar craze. Angel Locsin, Jessica Soho, Jennylyn Mercado were among those who joined the fun.
On September 1, the social media giant Facebook launched its newest feature, Facebook Avatar. It allows the user to create a digital cartoon like-character of yourself.
You can customize your hairstyle, facial features, complexion, body shape, and outfits. The head of the app, Fidji Simo, said avatars were created to provide FB users with more personalized ways to express themselves.
In a FB post last May 13, Fidji Simo said: “So much of our interactions these days are taking place online, which is why it’s more important than ever to be able to express yourself personally on Facebook.”
“Avatars enable you to share a range of emotions and expressions via a digital persona that’s uniquely representative of you, so we’re excited to bring this new form of self-expression to more people around the world.”
Almost all Facebook users in the Philippines have joined the latest craze. Our news feeds have been flooded with avatars. The latest FB feature was first rolled out in Australia last year. Earlier this year, it expanded to New Zealand, Canada, India, Europe, Ireland, and USA.
Filipino celebrities have also joined the Facebook Avatar craze. Jennylyn Mercado, Angel Locsin, Ken Chan, Ruru Madrid, Jessica Soho, and Ben&Ben were among those who joined the fun.
