Wordpress has integerated gravatar support, as a result displays related Gravatar image of a commenter next to his/her comment on a Wordpress powered blog. Smashing Magazine released a new plugin which shows a commenters Twitter avatar in the wordpress comments.As we all know Twitter has become extremely popular across the Web.Ricardo Sousa, who writes for Smashing Magazine created a great plugin called Twittar.
This plugins loads user’s avatar by matching the email address to the user’s Twitter email
address. Here is the best part- if user doesn’t have a Twitter account, it first tries to load user’s gravatar. If user doesn’t have a gravatar, it loads a default image. This is an optional setting.
