Does gravatar even give you that information back? I assumed the browser requested the image directly from them.

You can specify a default image URI, and possibly look at the pixels of the returned image to see if it is the specified default.

Look at the pixels?

canvas + getImageData

We've got it so that the image 404's and we listen to the image error event to fade the G in or out.

Neat, good idea.

It gives you a 404 if the image doesn't exist, so you can use that. It's all in JS, anyway, so the gosquared server does't need to know any of this.
