Coming from a Blackhat background, I have always used avatars over photos, even thou I always used my real name. It has only been about 9 or 10 months that I have started converting my avatars over to a photo

I use my real picture and name on SU and other sites; I think this sends the right message. For at least some people, the Avatar in combination with a created profile name provides a cover under which the poster expresses opinions that they would not normally be willing to do in public. I think it’s also worth mentioning that Avatar Branding Consultants “red” avatar is really a stylized photo, and very different than the blue one below.

I am trying to keep my SU account related only to the stuff I personally like, at least as far as submissions.
I use a face on SU, but then I look on it slightly more as being a blog rather than a news or bookmarking service.

Maybe I will try my avatar there to see what difference it makes.

I think visual branding is an important part of any social media techniques its interesting that Diggers prefer to hide who they are but given the nature of the site this is not really a surprise. I had a quick look at the top 100 stumblers where the distribution of real pictures to true avatars seems to be higher but still only 13 out of the top 50 stumblers.

however certainly on smaller forums a growing trend seems to be shifting away from Avatars to real photos so perhaps this will shift to social media scene to.
