A hackergotchi is a picture of a writer used as an avatar to identify the author of a given web feed in blog aggregators. OriginThe term hackergotchi originated when the fashion of blog aggregators hit the hacker community, hence the "hacker" part. Tuomas Kuosmanen, a GNOME artist, had created several whole body cutouts that originally appeared on the Art.GNOME.org website. A couple of years later, Jeff Waugh launched Planet GNOME, a blog aggregator of GNOME programmers and contributors. Luke Stroven suggested that Jeff use the images created by Steiner with posts by those writers. Stroven then created a bunch of images that depicted the heads of people on Planet GNOME. Waugh coined the term hackergotchi after seeing the collection of heads Stroven created.{{Fact|date=March 2013}} The "gotchi" part seems to be a reference to the Tamagotchi toy. TypesA hackergotchi is usually a head shot of the posting author, but other emblems, images or symbols representative of the blog owner are often used as well. A good gallery of them can be found at planet.gnome.org/heads. Drop shadowsThe most commonly used form of a hackergotchi is a head shot of the author with a drop shadow behind it. The drop shadow was originally introduced to produce greater visual contrast and to allow it to have a larger appearance when the image was placed on a white background. This was done to further the end goal of making it easier for a reader to differentiate between feeds from different authors. Although popular on sites like Planet GNOME where the concept originated, the drop shadow has lost favour on sites like [https://web.archive.org/web/20060705043550/http://planet.lugradio.org/ Planet LugRadio] due to appearance issues with their design theme. CreationHackergotchis are created from a standard original digital or digitised photograph and get transformed into the final product using image manipulation programs like the GIMP or Adobe Photoshop.
