WordPress buys Gravatar

So WordPress is in the game of buying other companies? I guess so… Gravatars are the globally recognized avatars and now WordPress owns them…

I’ve actually created a Gravatar class if you click the link in my name. Loosely coupled and works like a dream – it also has a cache with an expiration date for the avatar – to save on loading times. It can merely load the avatar in locally.
