This is huge. This is probably the biggest thing I’ve seen come through the WordPress world in a while.

I’ve had this idea in my head for a few years now, and while I’m sad I didn’t help out on the project, I’m amazingly super happy to see it come to fruition.

The cliffnotes are that Gravatars aren’t just for photos anymore, they’re the hub of your digital life and social networks are the spokes. Now everything rotates around your Gravatar profile, which is the beginning of how to solve the problem of how you connect all your little social silos of information together.

I’m psyched!

Needs testing but it’s worked on two existing MU installations so far. I haven’t tested it on a single user setup but I guessed at the code it would probably need… Please share, test, fix, steal, reuse, and recycle this code as needed. There’s probably better ways of doing this, but this got me through it in a pinch.
