How important is your Twitter avatar? A personal experiment.

Note: I apologize for any likenesses to any current public Twitter accounts now. If I misrepresent you, it is FOR EFFECT.

With that said: 

 

How important is your Twitter avatar? You know... that picture next to your account name? It is how people remember you. It is how you are representing yourself to the world. It is your online image. 

I like to experiment. I asked myself, "What if we took the same tweet and changed the avatar and name of the account from where it was said?"

Let's try it:

This gives me a hint of honesty, appreciation, and a hint of sexuality. It depends on who you are, but I like a girl who can eat a hot dog like a champ. *Ahem* #OK, moving on.

God. I just want to punch this fat guy. Stop eating. I hope you choke on the damn dog, even though I know you won't because you've probably become an expert at swallowing things whole. Fat shit.

I do love me some ballpark hotdogs. Boy, I could eat one right now. Hmm. Where can I get some mustard? OH! @wildmountain has some good stuff! I'M BUYING SOME NOW.

 

Results:

Your avatar has a surprising control over your followers' reaction to your tweets. I don't know why. I'm no psychological expert. I do know that I made assumptions about every person based on their avatar before I even took into account what they were saying.

Beauty is only Tweet Deep.
