Hi folks,
This seemed like the right place to toss this out...
What do folks think of adding a google +1 button to
d-programming-language.org? I just created a google+ account and
discovered it.
I strongly believe that Dig/Twitface/etc buttons DO NOT belong on misc
pages
across the web. If someone wants to go "marking" (or whatever the term
is)
different sites or pages with those services, then that belongs in
something
that's orthogonal to the pages themselves, such as a browser feature or
plugin. The current trend of embedding it in each page on the web just
drags
us all back to the dark ages when every application came with it's own
set
of drivers or {insert your own example of absurd non-orthogonality}. It
makes absolutely no sense.
Also, like Facebooks like buttons, it helps Google (or Facebook) to track
your browsing behavior (even if you're not using their services).
Yet another reason to keep JS turned off ;)
I don't think that will help. I think these Buttons are integrated with
iframes like this (example from spiegel.de:
<iframe
src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?locale=de_DE&href=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.spiegel.de%2Fspam%2F0%2C1518%2C776477%2C00.html&layout=standard&show_faces=false&width=480&action=recommend&font=verdanad&&colorscheme=light&height=22";
[etc] ></iframe>
So they get your IP (from the request to their server) and the page you
look at (as part of the requested facebook page from the iframe).
Probably cookies are used as well, but I don't know.
Cheers,
- Daniel
