Now its easier to see your friends in your Zenbe Address Book
May 11th, 2008 by Will Bailey · comments · http://blog.zenbe.com/ghnthWe rolled out a small new feature this morning that we hope you’ll enjoy. When you open your Zenbe Address Book you may see some photos for contacts that you did not upload yourself. We’ve integrated the Gravatar service with the Zenbe Address Book. Gravatar allows you to associate a picture with an email address. If you are seeing a new picture of your friend in your address book, it means he/she has a setup a Gravatar picture for the email address you have for them in the address book entry.
You can add your own Gravatar for your Zenbe account or any other email account here. Then your friends will be able to see your avatar in their address book automatically too.
You can still choose to set your own picture for your friends that have Gravatars by clicking on the pencil icon in the address book entry edit mode and uploading an alternate picture.
Nice feature, but it only checks Gravatar for the first email address if you have more then one address for your contact(s).

Rune,
That’s true. We debated that a bit. We didn’t want to make multiple calls to the Gravatar service for each email address for every contact in your address book.
So for now we decided on just looking at the first address for efficiency. In the future we’ll probably query for all email addresses, And if a user has different Gravatars for different addresses we’ll let you pick which one you want to show in your contacts.
Gravatar support, nice! I only recently started using the Gravatar service myself! Can’t wait for an invite to try it out in zenbe!
If it is still possible, I would very much appreciate an invitation:-) Have read allot about ZENBE and it really do look promising.
