10:54 Twitter plans to monitor the user clicks on the links here | |
Company Twitter is really going to keep track of everything clicks on links, like those carried out in the Twitter, a browser-based version, and those that are carried out in various applications developed by third party. The fact that Twitter has acquired a one-letter domain t.co (incidentally, the zone. Co gaining popularity very fast pace), where to place their own service reductions URL. This service will be used to transform completely all the links that users place in their microblog. This statement was made yesterday, Wednesday, and immediately there was a set of opponents of such a calculation. Remember how long ago a cartoon: "And I felt ...». I do not remember who it believed and why, but remember the phrase. So here, Twitter is going to count all the links, like it or not users. Naturally, many really do not like people believe that in this way violated the rights of service users. In addition, experts fear the new evils associated with the overload of the service. Centralized monitoring system associated with the service of short options, means that at the slightest overload will fail the entire system, which now is no different resistance. Generally speaking, few expected such a move from the service. Yes, everyone knew that bought a one-letter domain, which will be used to create your own short URL service for Twitter, but no one thought that all this will be used for actually observing the behavior of users. However, Twitter is not the first service, which is going to monitor everyone and everything. For example, the same Yahoo! doing the same thing, tracking users' actions through the domain rds.yahoo.com. Bing and Facebook, according to some experts, use java scripts to record mouse clicks via the function «OnMouseDown». Yes, and Google, our corporation was good, not so respectful of personal information, as is commonly believed. In general, those who do not like this behavior of large companies in respect to its own customers and users, can be called paranoid, but also because personal information and personal, that it belongs only to the owner (though who are we kidding, right?). Monitoring clicks on links will be put Twitter no earlier than the end of this year. So we'll see how to develop further this whole situation. Source. | |
