As is, we never again touch the information we get from Google after a user is created in our database. To improve this, we should check the information google sends (particularly the image, which we use for our avatar) to update if the user has new information.
Would be a nice task to check out omniauth, how it works and what it returns from a provider. Check out the SessionController and User model to see how this currently works.
