Gravatar gone...

Basic feed (just the blog)

The Uberfeed (blog, pics & links)

Earlier today I was looking at technorati and happened to notice that one of the top searches was for "gravatar". It surprised me a bit, I didn't think that gravatars were that big news, but I moved on.

I forgot all about it until a few minutes ago when I was visiting Siobhan's blog and noticed that my little gravatar picture was corrupted or missing. So I went to www.gravatar.com and that appears have gone!

Non-plussed, I went on to Google to see if there was any news on it's demise... and then remembered that top search on Technorati. Now the significance is very clear!

I wonder what's happened.

Mia What per se would be a gravatar?!

Becky A gravatar is a type of avatar, a small picture representing a person. Particularly the type used on Siobhan's blog and others.

Joanna eep... Have to start using my Angels photo for now I guess.

Wonder if the bandwidth proved too much?

steph_angel Your little grey & white oblong box type of gravatar that is now on Siobhan's blog page is identical to my photo on my student I.D card!!!

There had been a fault with the camera...So for 6 months whenever I presented my I.D card I had to try and arrange my face into a 2-tone box shape!!!

Perhaps more disturbing was that my I.D was never doubted!!!
