In recent weeks there has been an explosion of interest in alternatives to gravatar for adding avatars/images to a blog:
- With Gravatar’s Outage and Suckage, Should A New Avatar System Take Its Place?
- Gravatar Still Dead: Time for a Replacement?
- Pavatar
- Identikit (translated) is a Wordpress plugin that supports [(gr)|p|f]avatars.
- MyAvatars: a Wordpress plugin for MyBlogLog
- Autoavatars
What about OpenID and all the Web 2.0 sites (MySpace, YouTube, etc) I think the last thing we need is 5 or 6 competing and incompatible solutions. What about one service to rule them all—Buddy Cards? With a bit of coding I would think that 30 Boxes could add MyBlogLog, gravats, pavatar, and more.
I installed Buddy Cards a few weeks back and I have been very impressed with it.
Encourage 30 Boxes to jump on this today! Here is an active thread on the 30 Boxes forum.
