- robmcm, on 10/22/2007, -0/+8OpenID support would be really cool!
- andrewkumar, on 10/20/2007, -2/+9one step closer to a unified digital signature... just waiting now for openid support =D
- Lapper, on 10/22/2007, -0/+7Hopefully this will prevent things like the Gravatar 2.0 disaster from happening again.
- roycifer, on 10/22/2007, -0/+6yah, about time someone came around to pick up the slack
- alenonimo, on 10/22/2007, -0/+5I love the Gravatar idea but only now I think the service will endure the demand.
- xenlab, on 10/20/2007, -0/+3hell yeah! and I just went premium to support multiple emails and more.
Gravatar can work on any blog - set yours up to support it today! - KirinDave, on 10/22/2007, -0/+2"We transferred the Rails application and most of the avatar serving to our WordPress.com infrastructure and servers.
* Avatar serving is now more than three times as fast, and works every time.
Okay, so just what does that mean?"
Gravatar had previously been homed on just one server, which was emitting visible black body radiation it was so overworked. Spreading it out onto more assets would be trivial and drastically improve performance. - rspeed, on 10/22/2007, -0/+2Exactly what I thought. It's been getting unresponsive at certain times of day lately. This is excellent news.
- quack, on 10/22/2007, -3/+4Adding OpenID support would serve Gravatar well. I've been using it for a few years on my Movable Type blog, which already has built-in OpenID support.
- goodspeed, on 10/19/2007, -0/+1Double, triple cool!
- xenlab, on 11/07/2007, -0/+1Agreed. Now we just need an hCard server to tie all three into (OpenID + Gravatar + hCard = yum!)
- DanaK, on 10/19/2007, -0/+1I have a personal dislike for gravatar in general. I can't even count how many times I'm watching a page load choke out trying to pull from them. This looks like a positive move (hopefully).
- orionstar, on 10/20/2007, -0/+1Ha, visible black body radiation! Thank goodness the problem was resolved.
- trakais, on 10/22/2007, -2/+2post is gone, what happened?

"Avatar serving is now more than three times as fast, and works every time." If they mean working as fast as wordpress then we are screwed. lol - eyko, on 10/22/2007, -5/+1 * We transferred the Rails application and most of the avatar serving to our WordPress.com infrastructure and servers.
