I grew up with them and I couldn't really tell you much more than kermit and piggy. But, I think because they are strong, memorable characters, it's easy to follow their responsibilities through the vision of the software you choose to paint. When we are building software for a specific client, we like to borrow personas from the target client itself. Meaning, we take people from the actual company and incorporate them into the software demos; this way, there is a little a leap of faith as possible when the clients review. Of course, that only works when you have *already* been hired :) I think the idea of using muppets is better for image consistency throughout an app more so than for personalities that the individual muppets had to offer.
