I'm so glad Tom shared this. I've always wondered how Gravatar got started, grew, and ended up being bought by Automattic. N.B. As many people here know, Tom is one of the GitHub founders. And yes, GitHub uses Gravatars.

Once Automattic took over and scaled Gravatar out with their amazing CDN, adoption really ramped up. I use them without pause on my own projects, and I'm really happy to not have to configure my avatar every place I go!
