Twitter is getting rid of the egg avatar. Harry McCracken, writing at Co.Design:
Starting today, however, the egg is history. Twitter is dumping the tarnished icon for a new default profile picture–a blobby silhouette of a person’s head and shoulders, intentionally designed to represent a human without being concrete about gender, race, or any other characteristic. Everyone who’s been an egg until now, whatever their rationale, will automatically switch over.
I’m super excited to have these weird Dot candy looking silhouettes call me names.
