Meet the new Skype avatars: the Kloonies

Skype gets tired of its current reddish avatars. It announces a deal with Comverse to welcome the Klonies ― the Clownies?! ―, an avatar service that lets users personalize Skype with special characters that reflect their personalities, moods and interests.
Here’s what you can do: “Using the Klonies Studio in the Skype website, users can create and frequently update their unique Klonie image — changing hairstyles, clothing and accessories, expressions, locations, animated activities and more.”
“Klonies appear as the Skype Caller ID on the screen of the called party, representing how the user would like to be seen, and reflecting the user’s appearance, interests, and feelings,” says the press release.
The partnership could be considered as the answer to AOL bundling its instant messenger with the IMStar avatar service.
