"Guest" feature

[mizarchivist]

So LJ just told me about this guest feature that lets me know who looks at my journal and shows others who I look at.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. I'm also only 1/3 of the way through my coffee. My first reaction is distrust. Have you already run across this - what do you think?

Yeah, see, and I am devoted to LJToys (http://ljtoys.org.uk), but somehow that's... different to me. (Maybe because with LJToys I know it's using publicly available information -- and not claiming to draw any verifiable conclusions about who is who, just a bunch of guesswork really -- whereas with the new intra-LJ feature I'd be giving it permission to track me specially? Or because LJToys is at least a bit more obscure and arcane... does it make me feel better that the people who use it are at least going outside normal channels to do so? Hmm.)

So I disabled this.
