GetGravatar service launched

A month or so back we launched our first service hosted on Windows Azure. The purpose of GetGravatar is to encourage the use of the Gravatar service that allows you to maintain one avatar and that avatar be used by a number of different services. At present we’ve added support to update your Twitter profile picture using GetGravatar but we plan to add the ability to update your other social network site profile pictures to match your Gravatar very soon. We also hope to add the ability to detect whenever your Gravatar changes and automatically update your profile picture on your other services without you needing to do anything.

For more information see our GetGravatar page or visit the GetGravatar website.

Azure and Twitter

We finally got our Azure Services Platform token and we are rockin’. Hopefully we will have a beta live on our main project within a month.

We’ve been getting stuck into Twitter over the past couple of months. We think Twitter is a great product and adds real value to the individual as well as companies. We are keeping our eyes out for opportunities and one such opportunity appeared today.

Stephen Fry is really big on twitter and today he posted a challenge to his followers, one of which is our founder, so we knocked up a little application to help solve the problem.

This is an opportunity as it can raise awareness of us and what we do. We’ll keep you informed of how this goes.
