Avatar makers

Avatars are stand-ins for actual photographs on the web.  One of the best ways to keep yourself safe on the internet is to keep yourself anonymous.  These "cartoony" avatars are a perfect way to do just that.  There are a number of really great avatar-creating sites out there, but here are a few of my favorites.

1. Dopple Me
2. Mii Creator

Once you get your avatar created, you'll probably want to save it using a screencapture tool.  Here are a few suggestions.

1. Windows 7 Snipping Tool
2. Chrome Extension "Awesome Screenshot"
