[...] There appears to be a plugin rollup strategy of sorts underway at the highly decentralized blogging startup, one that will result in the absorption of features into the WordPress codebase that are currently provided through extensions. Automattic recently purchased Intense Debate, a small TechStars startup working on an advanced commenting platform. Further back, it also acquired Buddy Press, a project for layering social networking features onto WordPress, in March and Gravatar, a universal avatar system, last Fall. [...]

I wrote a little plug-in for bbPress that implements Gravatar avatars, and I was having a lot of performance problems. Since the acquisition it has been working smoothly.

From a development point of view Gravatars is surprisingly easy to implement. You don’t have to worry about anything, like keeping avatars in your server, limit their size, make forms for people to update… for small developments it’s a really useful tool.

Gravatar is a very interesting property. It creates a universal id that can be used everywhere. I suspect that this will become major competition to openid.

I don’t think MyBlogLog displays avatars by posts on every blog but on many it does. I assume you need to install a plugin to get this functionality rather than slapping a widget in the sidebar.

There is no reason why it couldn’t be done that way it would just take more work.

I’ve never used MyBlogLog so I could be wrong on the plugin vs sidebar widget issue anyway.

MyBlogLog does already do this – and apparently far more succesful and widespread. I had never heard of Gravatar, but I do bump into my own ‘avatar’ (effectively my logo on my profilepage on MyBlogLog LOL) on countless blogs I visit

Doesn’t MyBlogLog offer the same functionality along with far more compelling reasons for bloggers/webmasters to implement the plugin?

It will be interesting to see how/if this moves to the wordpress.org codebase.

Glad to see something new in the Gravatar’s story. But maybe it’s too late…

After several months of “no gravatars” Most of all WordPress bloggers & gravatar’s user have switched to MyAvatatars plugin I’ve made about 9-10 months ago
