Today almost everyone has a number of accounts to handle, and all of them have a profile containing your profile picture/avatar. It sort of makes sense to have unanimous identity everywhere, and that includes having the same avatar everywhere.
This site above just helps you implement it easily. All you have to do is follow a few steps.
- Create a profile on Gravatar.
- Upload your picture(via Hard Disk, Some URL, Your Webcam)
- Set your various E-mail addresses as the default id to use it.
So as the site says “globally recognized avatar”. It does this job the best.
It already has tie-ups with many websites and is in the process of acquiring set-ups with other popular websites too. some commenting scripts such as JS-Kit also has a tie up with Gravatar. Then all you have to do is give your Gravatar ID to the services you are using and your profile’s avatar is then always synchronized with Gravatar. So if you have done that job in 10 services first, all you have to do for changing your profile picture everywhere is change it in Gravatar.
Now for the sites with whom Gravatar doesn't have a Tie-up. With many websites it has a few tips and tricks/Hacks mentioned in its help menu. Some little bit of scripting that they tell you to do and its all done again.
Even if that is not possible, if you just copy the Gravatar URL and use it to upload your picture (this feature is available by almost every website) and again your avatar is synchronized.
To my opinion this site really appeals, as this service is useful in-fact very useful and is also offered by none other than Gravatar and hence no competition.
