Just in time for World Cup Soccer, Skype users can now use avatars to reflect their personalities and their favorite team, thanks to Klonies. Klonies come from Comverse, a division of Comverse Technology, a telecom software providers, which had launched these avatar for mobile handsets last fall. The whole avatar business is getting interesting.
