Continuing this theme, several people have mentioned that they’d like to choose their own sock puppet avatar which is something we hadn’t considered. We think it’s a great idea and as a result we’d like to do a bit of crowdsourcing to help put the idea in practice so we’ve posted a ‘looking for ideas for Socky the puppet avatars’ on the site for people to respond to and comment on.

So far we’ve Socky and his girlfriend who is yet to be named and we’d like to add 6 more at this stage, 3 for hers and 3 for hims. Ideas to date are Father Xmas Socky in accordance with the festive season and Socky Fawkes though we think he might have gone up in smoke last week. As well as being able to see your Socky live on the site (we might even provide stats on which is most popular), we’ll be sending a real Socky to the people whose ideas we like most.

We’ve posted the question at the link below so please let us know your suggestions there. Thanks in advance and don’t forget to log in if you want the chance to receive your very own Socky for Christmas, postal strike permitting!
