It’s kind of a hassle, isn’t it? You’re sitting at your computer typing away, when all of a sudden you hear your cell phone chirping at you. You recognize the tone – it means you have a new text message. You sigh as you reach for the phone. It isn’t that you don’t want to text your friend back. It’s just that you were right in the middle of checking out a few profiles on MySpace. “Wouldn’t it be nice”, you think as your fingers fly across the cell phone keys “If I could text people right here on MySpace? Then I could do everything right here in one place!”
Guess what? Now you can text your friends right from your MySpace profile page! No more texting with one eye on the computer screen to see what’s happening online. You can text back and forth with anyone who has a cell phone once you add this nifty little to your page. The texting is anonymous, meaning that your cell phone number does not show up, so you don’t have to worry about someone on the internet getting hold of it.
Don’t think you can use this widget to prank people with though. Sure, you could, but be aware that your IP address is logged by the service every time you send a text message. If your text prank gets a little nasty, someone might try to turn you in! Don’t take that chance.

You’ve probably noticed more and more people are using animated avatars all over the web. They have become especially popular on MySpace, and it’s a lot of fun to browse through the different profiles and see the creative avatars that people have come up with. After seeing several avatars that intrigued you, you have probably decided that you’d like an animated avatar on your own profile.
There are several ways that you can create an animated avatar to place on your MySpace profile. One way is to use a couple of freeware applications which are called Gimp and Movie Snapshot. Movie Snapshot takes a thumbnail sized clip out of any video you may have on your hard drive, and Gimp is used to manipulate the video clip in order to create your avatar. Of course, there’s more to the creation of an avatar with these programs than meets the eye. If you don’t want to spend a whole lot of time fiddling around with a Photoshop clone, trying to get your image exactly the way you want it, then you need a faster and easier solution to get your avatar up and running. There is a much easier way, and it’s called Meez.
Meez is a website which you can use to make an avatar of yourself. This avatar is a rendered, three dimensional figure that is amazingly lifelike and almost infinitely customizable. You will be amazed at what you can do with Meez! And, the avatar you make can be used anywhere on the internet. Some people try to get their Meez avatar to look as much like themselves as possible, while others go for a totally opposite effect. With a huge selection of items such as hair styles and colors, facial expressions, clothing and accessories, and backgrounds to choose from, you can change your look as often as you want.
