Egobots
Egobots.[1] were early pre-iPhone app 3D-rendered avatars that could be sent with a text bubble as a message to a mobile phone. Egobots were highly customizable, and could be downloaded in high resolution for print purposes. While comparisons were made with WeeMees, the products operated in different market segments.
