This is also being used by many forums and social networking websites. But how does your image get onto that website?

This is done by a website called Gravatar. This stands for Globally recognized avatar. You can sign up and upload your gravatar. It is then linked to your email address. Whenever you make a blog comment or forum post using your email address then your gravatar will be loaded by the blog/forum automatically.

The service is completely free of charge. I highly recommend creating a gravatar account to help increase your personal profile and branding.

Here is a "how to" video I found on YouTube.

This is a very interesting development. A huge corporate like Walmart is embracing twitter as a customer communication platform. But customers are greeted with 3,000+ words of terms and conditions. Even the twitter profiles link to the terms and "discussion policy"

It is fantastic to see large organisations using twitter. But are they really connecting themselves with their customers by taking this step or making themselves look even more like a corporate giant and bombarding us with a hefty set of terms and conditions?
