Urr... or you could just add ...?default=(user's gsfn avatar URL) to the Gravatar URL to redirect to the user's GSFN image if they don't have a Gravatar.

Not quite that simple Luis; That works fine when you only use gravatars, but we would need to meld gravatar with our current avatar system.

That said, while it would be a fairly simple task to add, perhaps a half day of work to go through the places we leverage avatar data and add a fallback onto gravatar data, I'd wager to say that my time could be better spent in any hundred of other more meaningful ways. I think it would be great to add, but to be honest, IMO that wouldn't get time devoted to it until Gravatar support reaches some critical mass.

You can add support for it in 5 minutes.

I'm also using http://trodrigues.net/ubiquity/pingfm/ and I'd definitely recommend it, +1 from me!

Just recieved a reply from Ev at Obvious:

"We haven't really thought about adding Gravatar support, but I like the idea. Will think about it."

So perhaps there's light at the end of the tunnel!

I've sent off an email to Twitter directly, hopefully hear something soon!

It seems that Twitter guys never answer a request... I've ask several things, by GetSatisfaction or by mail, and I have never had any response...

Just as with Twitter, I think all these services need to start using some sort of standard for things like avatars. Here's to hoping they include it in v4.

Would it be possible for a Twitter employee to let us know whether this idea could be considered?

A comment on the idea "Gravatar Support?" in Twitter:

Since the <a href="">Gravatar acquisition by Automattic</a> almost a year ago the service has been great - partly due to the PHP rewrite, and the better hosting capabilities of the Wordpress.com framework. – Alex, on August 20, 2008 16:08

Haven't heard anything about this in over 6 months now, is there any way we can push this feature forward? Perhaps get some feedback off users to find out how many would really find it useful?

Support for Gravatar integration to Twitter has been growing recently, I think the same kind of people would appreciate its inclusion in Pownce.
