The face of anonymity

2007/09/29 filed under /web

The web is getting one big social spot where we can define our friends (read: complete strangers) over and over again. Luckily for those who are terrible at remembering names, the ability to upload a picture or avatar is usually given.

But what happens when you don't want to upload a picture and want to remain semi-anonymous? You'll get the default image! The all look very similar (well, most of them), yet all slightly different.

I've scanned a few sites and looked for their way of giving the anonymous user a face. Here are 15 examples (all scaled down to 48×48 pixels).

43things.com digg.com facebook.com flickr.com friendster.com
gofish.com jumpcut.com last.fm myspace.com newsvine.com
technorati.com vox.com Y! Answers Y! Movies youtube.com

Can't we get one global symbol for mr/mrs Anonymous?
