TweetMeme is a widget that readers of a blog which uses the widget can tweet a link to it with a single click. Many bloggers use it. It is even embedded in youtube video pages.
BTW FR uses cookies. did you block those cookies as well?
No, I trust FR.
I don't trust blog pimps.
FR uses Google Analytics.
[as do I and it’s for reputable purposes of keeping track of your demographic to better tailor and improve your website content/loading time/navigation/screen resolution/browser add on capability for the enjoyment of visitors]
It also uses a cookie to log you in.
You can choose *not* to accept the cookie *if* you want to have to manually sign in, take the cookie every time you visit and delete it every time you leave.
Big difference between that and web bugs and trackers.
There’s no “pay per click” crap here, either.
Every dime he gets he gets honestly and right up front where every one can see it.
