I’ve been trying to think of a central resource for avatars that already has a bunch of them, and flickr sprung to mind. I might cook up a wordpress plug-in that best-efforts finding an avatar on gravatar.com, then pavatar, then flickr.

[...] I’m not talking about an OpenID or some other online identity system that’s way too pompous for the layperson’s simple whimsy. So that thrown aside, are there any contenders for the role of gravatars in the webosphere? [...]

[...] Shame is that there are over 4,5 million Gravatars registered and the service now risks it’s leading position for global personal avatars to someone else. BloggingPro even reports about the lack of effort the inventor of the Gravatars has left for the project. Now that’s sad, but there definitely is a reasonable explanation for it. I assume the developer won’t make a living from Gravatar alone — but that’s another story and probably none of my business. [...]

There is something out there: Pavatar

The Personal Avatar (aka Pavatar) is a personal picture hosted on your webspace which is then used by websites to display whenever referring to content provided by YOU, the user. An example would be if you made a comment or a site posting where an avatar is required. This way, delivering your Personal Avatar is peripheral and can be (nearly) anonymous. This option inhibits companies from collecting personal information about your habits on the web.
