AvatarPlus allows users to use the avatar from a social service of their choice (supports: Google+, Twitter and Facebook) as their comments avatar instead of the default from the Gravatar service or your WordPress installation.

AvatarPlus adds this feature to WordPress comments, thus making the mail address field not required anymore for displaying an avatar image.
