Chris Doelle This is sort of a trick question. First off, I am known in social media circles for updating my icon/avatar image frequently – facebook got me into that one. What I have noticed with some of the other social networking services is that I have a ton of different head shots depending on which one was handy when I signed up.
So I put it to you. Should I go the full “branding” route and stick to something that is recognizable, or should I keep it fresh and constantly update the photos? What are your thoughts?
Take the poll – pick the image that you think is the best and leave a comment here to help me decide.

Something about #3 disturbs me so not that one. #1 and #4 are my favorite. It’s funny, but I have contacts that do it both ways. I have some that NEVER change so I always know who they are. And then I have others that change all the time and it is just expected of them. I will say though that usually when they change they change everywhere. It is a little strange to see different icons scattered all over the places.
