kissmetrics.com not detected

vark.com apparently uses a new tracking service called kissmetrics.com, looks like mint

paste2.org mint stats not detected

I think Mint is sometimes detected, but on paste2.org there seems to be a mint script that is not detected.

Plinky emails do not display on BlackBerry

Plinky emails do not display on the BlackBerry, I assume that this an format error in the mail with the mime structure that breaks message parsing on the BB gateway service.

Alexander Lehmann replied on October 19, 2009 14:04 to the question "Does blocking trackers speed up browsing ?" in Ghostery:

That may depend on a few factors including bandwidth, browser speed and of course the number of trackings on a page but in general I'd say yes.

A comment on the idea "Omniture pixel on xing.com" in Ghostery:

NS will not get the bugs either since Omniture contains a simple web bug as noscript tag – Alexander Lehmann, on October 16, 2009 22:20

Alexander Lehmann replied on October 16, 2009 22:19 to the idea "Omniture pixel on xing.com" in Ghostery:

btw, this would be easy if it were possible to include DNS resolve requests in the detection, e.g. any domain that resolves to *.2o7.net or to the respective nets could be detected.
(the same would apply for ABP)

A comment on the idea "Omniture pixel on xing.com" in Ghostery:

I think this can be considered a feature of Omniture, if the customer chooses, they can use their own domain and create a subdomain to point to the Omniture server, e.g. ping metrics.apple.com

Ping wird ausgeführt für appleglobal.112.2o7.net [66.235.132.152] – Alexander Lehmann, on October 16, 2009 22:17

Omniture pixel on xing.com

xing.com is using Omniture based on their own sub-domain, i.e. natsp.xing.com/b/ss/xingcomprod/ which is in fact a Omniture IP
this is probably difficult to detect since it isn't the 2o7 domain, but maybe you can detect this based on the individual subdomain

new tracker *.inq.com

I have found a new tracking tool on the webpage of my company. *.inq.com

this is apparently a customer support tool that tracks if the user is having problems finding the info they are looking for.

as an example take a look at www.vodafone.de

Add tracking/ad domain ligatus.com

One tracking/ad domain we use is ligatus.com which seems to be used often on German web pages (e.g. rtl.de)
Could you add that to the database?
(e.g. http://www.rtl.de/rtlaktuell/rtl_aktu... )

Yet another tracking tool: plista.com

The site I work for has received a new tool to track users and suggest interesting pages from the portal. www.plista.com
can you add this to the tracking database?
To see this in action, you can go to http://www.arcor.de/ums/ums_index.jsp (the item "Das könnte Sie auch interessieren" is generated by plista)

Alexander Lehmann replied on September 30, 2009 08:12 to the idea "Blocking Facebooks tracking through image referals." in Ghostery:

I would use a tool like privoxy or proxomitron to achieve this, I think this is kind of out of scope for a tracking detector.

Alexander Lehmann replied on September 30, 2009 08:00 to the praise "Piwik!" in Ghostery:

a rather good tool btw, sortof a google analytics that you can run on your own server

Alexander Lehmann gave praise in Ghostery on September 30, 2009 08:00:

Piwik!

I have noticed that you are detecting piwik even though this is not based on a specific domain (since it usually runs on your own server)

Alexander Lehmann replied on September 29, 2009 18:31 to the idea "Image Upload Destination (TwitPic, YFrog, etc)" in Thing Labs:

Could you add support for img.ly and twitgoo? I currently use img.ly but occasionally use twitpic

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled
Add support for more image posting sites.

A comment on the idea "Brizzly should auto-refresh" in Thing Labs:

I'm not sure if that can be easily done, but how about scrolling the page down by the same amount that the new entries take up so that the currently visible tweets stay where they are – Alexander Lehmann, on September 23, 2009 22:17

Alexander Lehmann replied on September 17, 2009 22:54 to the question "Trying to add photo to a tweet gives message "No photos found..."" in TinyTwitter:

the default directory is /store/home/user/pictures/
try moving a picture to that dir (internal memory card)

Alexander Lehmann replied on September 17, 2009 22:50 to the question "I am getting the following error in my Bold :network exception :APN is not specified" in TinyTwitter:

Can you use any other applications that use the network other than the browser?

APN is network/carrier specific, either you can just turn it on or you have to check with your network.

take a look at the faq post http://www.blackberryfaq.com/index.ph...

The option is in Settings -> Extended Settings -> TCP/IP
