With the exception of Majakka, I never see any of the most powerful traffic-driving stumblers on that page.

I think it was required for more functions in the past, but I may be misremembering, I have only recently started using stumbleupon again after an extended absence.Still, almost every active StumbleUpon member (with the exception of a few very new ones) has a picture, so I don't see it as significant that the top 100 do too (in fact, out of 400 visitors to my stumbleupon blog, only 2 of them have not had pictures, both of whom were extremely minor stumbleupon users, with only about 100 t-ups between them.) I acknowledge that the picture is a very important tool, but I don't feel StumbleUpon is the place to be proving that. What you need if you want empirical evidence for your conjecture is a site where a significant proportion of the active users don't have pictures, and then you can compare how popular those with pictures are to those without pictures at the same activity level. StumbleUpon is not such a site. Digg may be, I've never been much of a one for Digg, but I suspect that pictures are relatively uncommon on it.

Also, I feel that a distinctive name is more universally recognisable than a distinctive avatar, because avatar's are useless in many places, for example I cannot use my personal avatar (nor any random avatar I might choose) here, because there is no spot for displaying it. Of course, a distinctive avatar is more instantly recognisable, so it is probably best to try and maintain both. Hmm, maybe I should change a few of my forum avatars back to my personal one. And I might as well post it here too: There, recognise my brand people :-p Well, with Stumbleupon there is the issue that in order to significantly participate you MUST have an avatar, so the fact the top 100 have them is no surprise even if the recognition factor were not involved.

I'm pretty new to the world of blogs and social media but I am already aware of certain brands/people out there. When you see them as a member or visitor to a site, or leaving comments it immediately gives a higher authority to a site or post you may have simply passed by. Totally agree there.
