And the advantage of this over gravatar is? The page mentions how to move from gravatar, but gives no reason why I should. Maybe a better API? As a user I don't care.

Gravatar now requires a Wordpress account for new users, which is an annoying extra step to ask users to do.

  I agree, It's annoying taking the extra sign up process just to get Gravatar they need to fix that.

  Wow I didn't know that. That is absolutely reason enough that gravitar should be replaced (from both end user and app perspective).

  Absolutely agree - that Gravatar now requires a Wordpress account is a really shame. avatar.io should be capitalising on this, focusing on why a user would want use their service, not just developers.

I think it lets you integrate the avatar upload process into your own UI.
