Nice move, Gravatar is one of those great ideas that doesn't seem to get enough traction to become popular

yay! Now I can go pick out some idiotic image to represent me on the intarwebs!

What should it be... Bouncing boobs? Me making a funny face? Oh! I know! Some random symbol that is supposed to have meaning and be cool!
