Gravatar

The quick and dirty 

There are many configurable options that you can pass into Gravtastic. I found it quite refreshing to have a gem just work "out-of-the-box". It also has support for plain ruby if you're not using something like rails. Also, if you want to have the gravatar load on the client side, it has an option to work using javascript if your using Rails 3.1 or higher. 

Gemfile
