Hi Mark, I'm not aware of any connections between gravatar.com and Google profiles. Is it possible you had a gadget that connects to this site installed on your iGoogle page?
Regarding chat traffic, the Talk gadget communicates with Google throughout the day even when you are not chatting (it has to keep your status, and the status of your contacts updated, and can't do that without contacting the servers). I hope this helps. Dan On Aug 21, 3:29 am, elmarko <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, as you can tell from the subject I'm not having a great time right > now.
