I wrote about gravatars on <a href="http://damiannicholson.com/posts/adding-gravatars-to-your-rails-app" rel="nofollow">my blog</a> a couple of days ago. I can see this going to good use in many applications...nice job! :) Maybe we should roll it up into a plugin, with a few modifications and host it on github? Hehe, what a coincidence!

I don't think apple are in the position to be biased about these sorts of things as it enriches their business. The same would go for Facebook in my opinion. Note: I'm beginning to dislike Facebook all together!

Also, I don't think a "network of trust" is anywhere near what Facebook have or aim to achieve :p The problems with the Apple app store would possibly apply here: There’s stories of developers being dissuaded from iPhone development because of how slow the approval process is, getting refused for weird reasons, constantly changing the secret rules and that non-disclosure agreement they enforce!

Though I don't think there's anything wrong with a vetting process as it would drastically cut down on most of the nasty occurrences pointed out here here. I mean just look at the iPhone stuff available from the app store, I don't see their process slowing down business at all over there. Sure you have to jump through a few hoops to get accepted, but that's a minor hindrance to someone with good intentions and a half decent app. I'm sure Facebook have the money, brains and manpower to set something like this up, as a "truly open" system will never work without some form of moderation, as you can't guarantee a network of trust with 3rd party apps flying about all over the place.

It lets me hear stuff i haven't heard in yonks without going into stuff i cant be arsed to listen to. Also 2.1 hasn't caused any weird mail side affects its only served to speed up the whole OS whilst improving battery life :) i must agree that i use the genius feature a hell of a lot and it works surprisingly well!
