I really think so. They are forcing everybody into their services.

Android gives one more freedom here and there, but tracks you more. At the very end we are tied to Google or Apple, and that is bad.

Ok. I’ll wait till then before buying my new Laptop.

Some people just do not understand that employees are more productive if they are comfortable. They think employees need an eye behind its back in order to produce. And if it is that way, it is their fault, they have chosen bad when hiring.

You are right, it is a great move. I do not like it either, nor use it, except when I need to find small commerce sites in my city. I know they do not have their own webpages, so it is useless to look them on Google, but they all have a Facebook Fan Page. With this move, Facebook will get even more business, and less and less small companies will see the need to build and maintain their own sites. It is also a great move against Shopify

You mean Linus Torvalds?

Or Linux, Linux can’t be bought

Here are some of them, a feed with lots of them.

Keep all important data with you, both in your PC (better encrypted) and in an external disk (backup). If you are really paranoid, you may backup it in the cloud too, S3, Dropbox or any other service.

Hi, realized about this post here in HN thanks to Piwik.

I am the author of the post Tony is linking at the top of his post, and I also use Piwik, where I saw my article was with 300+ visits instead of the 20+ it gets daily. :)

Piwik is great, and I use it to track visits to a few sites I own, all of them are some 6000 page views per day, so no real traffic.

Because my site is powered by Jekyll, I also use vanilla forums as commenting system, so no Disqus or Intense Debate either :)

Have a nice day, and thanks Tony for the link and credit .

I am bolivian and live in Bolivia, this is one of the most accurate comments about my country I've read from a foreign.

If you have questions about how is here, I will try to be as objective as I can. (Disclaimer: I am not into politics, I am a geek/hacker :) ).

The title here in HN. It was originally "Don't expose your visitors to tracking. Use share links instead of Java scripts"

It was then edited (by a moderator I assume) to reflect the actual title of the post.

Nice. thanks.

That is why I said, I am thinking about not serving scripts from CDNs, at least not from public CDNs.

Thanks for the advice. I will change them later.

You are right. The web today is full of scripts and is slow sites.

Can you give me your website url, please?

Thanks, changing it now.

Thanks.

:( At least I am trying to do my part. And that is the only thing I can do.

Sorry, you are right. it is NetDNA's

From the performance point of view is better to use that public CDN. But they have control over the javascript, and they may change it at anytime. Maybe too paranoid, so just thinking about it.

Me too, I was really scared. Now I know is Google's problem I am breading again.

This could stop wars

what a big mistake! What if FB is suddenly turned off? they do not even have their own url.

Well, not everybody thinks about worst case scenarios.

pinterest?

Hi Matt, first thanks for getting the time to read my post, and replay. The problem I still see is that even if you have your domain the link is messed up. From your blog.

Goes to

http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/pubcon-2012-slides/

So if I bookmark the former, and FB dissapear you will have to create a full list of 301 redirects in your server so my links still work. Yes you have the control, but that is a lot of work.

Why not make FB links like this?

http://feeds.mattcutts.com/blog/pubcon-2012-slides/

In that case all you have to do is a 301 of feeds to www.

Hope my point is clear.

Edit: never mind. Someone found this http://www.wangarific.com/how-to-get-rid-of-feedproxy-links-...

That way you really have all the control back.

Kind of remembers me The Wall (Pink Floyd)

Just because of that I have disabled fb like, twitter and g+ from my blog. I had also disabled google analytics but traffic started to go down. Today I have re-enabled analytics to see if that is the reason.

I did not have too much traffic from fb or twitter to think that is because I took their buttons out.

Anyway, I prefer to avoid those sites tracking my readers, savvy people can anyway share my content if they want.

So, if you want is http://www.garron.me :). Just kidding.

Also, for some developing countries is not only the money, but how do they pay. I mean, here in Bolivia $5 a month is equal to two lunches, not too much money, but. If are not getting a good salary (developers usually are not) you can't acces to credit cards. And that is a problem. Pre-paid cards may be an option but that increases the cost even more.

I have just started transferring my domains to dnsimple. I love how they configured my google apps with one click.

Matt Jaggard said on that Google discussion:

    - "I think you're missing the point. Some startups are getting going with zero capital because an individual with some skills and some time can produce and sell a product using free cloud services and then once they've made a few bob can upgrade.

    - Google WERE supporting this model very well - shame on you for stopping."

Maybe, Google may continue to offer this services to start ups. They can ask for 0.05 or less share per startup using their services for free. That will not be free anymore, but is a viable model. I think.
