And finally...the amazing friend-of deprivacy wizard. For all those peeps who no longer display who has them friended.
ETA: Google Analytics Integration on LJ planned since 2006.
The reason I gave the post the title I did is 'cause I am totally guilty of pretty much all of it - especially with everything in one lj instead of creating comms.
Do you know which of the visitor stat counters shows where people came from on your LJ? I tried using statcounter (since that's what I have on my website) but the referring URLs were always blank on LJ.
Getting referring URLs is pretty much the only reason I have a statcounter. I don't care about anything else (though it is neat to see all those little flags show up on my worldmap), I just want to know who's been linking to me.
I love statcounters. It's faszinating to see where visitors come from and by what road. But the only reason I use joule about once a month is that otherwise I'd never notice if someone adds/removes my journal.
On the other hand, I very much do not want the internal LJ tracker (I think it's been introduced in the Russian sector awhile back as a test or something) to become widespread. The idea that it automatically attaches LJ names to every visitor makes me so, so queasy.
Its when the tracking information crosses the line to find out people's identities that we get rather wiggy.
