Blog2012 ≫ Do Not Track

I just got an update of AVG1 (free antivirus software) and it includes it's own version of do not track. I'm also using do not track plus2 a browser plugin (read about how it works3), so basically I am singlehandedly killing off the social web.

I don't use facebook anyway, but all those google plus buttons have disappeared and so have my google ads. On the downside I can't check my google adsense earnings from this browser any more, but hey if everyone starts using do not track then soon there will be no more google adsense earnings anyway. All the major browsers are going to add this as an option. Dump your facebook shares now (oh, you already did).

metoffice.gov.uk4 seemed to stop working for a while, but I think that was just coincidence.
