I hadn't noticed those buttons before. So yes, that privacy policy link is long overdue. But the questions about analytics remain: Why would a LISP/arc hacker + scientist (fully versed with data visualization per your domain) require google analytics to determine usage data points? Why have you neglected to use the anonymize features of GA (if you must use GA)? http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/gaJS/gaJSApi_gat.... Finally, why were these tracking scripts in hubski.com never mentioned in context of n threads on privacy on this very site? (Maybe I missed it. Was it mentioned? Link, please.) aside:
"Tells Google Analytics to anonymize the information sent by the tracker objects by removing the last octet of the IP address prior to its storage." Pretty please, google, don't store the IP. This is the same company that ran wireless sniffers when supposedly taking street view pics. Damn that PG and his ilk for completely subverting the hacker ethics.
