I have stopped the “tweets” links because of the (automatic) bad formatting and the “bit.ly” links which people don’t like.
I’ve noticed that in mid September you’ve begun using bit.ly links instead of direct links. I’m guessing that’s because you’re tweeting them (well the big clue is the post label of ‘Tweets’ but I haven’t read every post to see whether you’ve explicitly mentioned this). Using bit.ly means I won’t visit any of those links directly, and since googling gets tedious, I probably won’t visit the blog as much in future. This is my loss, I know. However, I don’t want my random clicks tracked and statistically manipulated as I don’t regard my browsing habits as something to be monetized or as part of someone else’s prurient tracking habits (I refer to bit.ly). I have read bit.ly’s privacy policy and I note there that they have explicitly stated that they can changed it whenever they want. Knowing the technology as I do, I don’t like it. I’ve in the past considered using bit.ly myself on my sites, but voted against it in the end as, since I wouldn’t like to be bit.lyed, I don’t think I should do it to others. As I mentioned this is my loss. Call me a dinosaur but the incessant creep of data mining is something of concern.
