The long-awaited (?) new improved Gravatar is at last live; read about it on the Gravatar Blog.
There is now a tiered membership; a free account allows you one email address and two gravatar images (though you can only use one at a time, of course). A paid ($10/year) account allows an unlimited number of emails and icons to associate with them (one particular email is associated with one avatar).
I’ve always thought gravatar was sort of a neat service, and the free version will certainly suffice for most users. Server space and bandwidth is not free, though, nor is development time, so I hope that their subscription model works well for them.
