RSII: An update

By RickMeasham | December 8, 2007

Back on November 7th, I wrote about RSII: Reverse Signatures for Insecure Identification. Since then I’ve discovered http://www.gravatar.com/. It basically implements RSII where your email address is the key and without the theorizing I’ve given to the concept.

My RSII avatar is now also my gravatar, and it’s let me add my other email addresses to the one account. So now my CPAN modules all show my RSII Gravatar. When you look at CPAN, you’ll know that the Rick Measham over there, is the same as the Rick Measham over here. Now if only we can convince more sites to implement gravatar-managed avatars!

I’ve just installed gravatars on my blog here, so if you have a gravatar it will show up next to your comment. If you don’t have a gravatar, you’ll get the default silhouette.

    So this gravatar should work, then, too…?

    UPDATE 2009-11-08:

    * Many sites now at least optionally use the Gravatar service since it was taken over by Automatic (the owners of WordPress)

    * I’ve changed my RSII Gravatar to this new version: http://twitter.com/account/profile_image/RickMeasham?hreflang=en

If you want an avatar next to your comment, sign up for a Gravatar and use the same email address here. You can do it any time, even after you comment here.
