friends profile pictures
If i link my account to facebook / google i would expect that if my friends dont use this site or dont have a profile picture selected you would load it from those services. Why doesn't this happen?
Also why aren't images being be pulled from my google address book?
I saw the article about people being "scared away" by gravatar images. Couldn't you just include a small icon in the bottom coner showing where you got the icon from?

We’d definitely like to work on better Facebook/Google contacts integration, including showing friends’ profile pictures. It hasn’t been a high priority because only a very small % of our users connect with FB or Google, but we’d still like to do it when we get a chance.
The icon for Gravatar images is an interesting idea as well – I’ll pass that on. Thanks for the suggestion!

This would be very nice. But since Splitwise already has access to the mobile's address book, just showing the pictures associated to my friends should be fine (for contacts without pictures in Splitwise).

I'd totally expect also that linking my fb account would use my fb profile picture, or let me choose it from the avatar menu at least. it feels so 2000 for now ;)
