You weren't uncomfortable letting it access your blog?

I was a bit bothered and ducked out.

It accessed the public portions of my blog. Anyone can see those, so what's the big deal?

I dunno.

It felt kinda dirty. ;)

Wait -- do you have to log this thing into your account?

[identity profile] rufinia.livejournal.com 2005-06-25 01:53 am (UTC)(link)
No. It asks for the webpage address of your blog. No passwords, no nothing other than http://www.livejournal.com/users/rufinia

Moreover, it's pretty blog-format-stupid. What it does in your blog is trawl through it looking for links -- but of course, *most* links on a typical LJ page are administrative in nature, not links to content, which is really what they're looking for. The result is that most of the questions are actually non-sequiteurs, because they've mischaracterized the data...

The two links it asked me about where related to the shawl discussion last week... so it didn't (in my case, at least) worry about the links to comments or anything.

Ah. It asked me about five links, of which three were basically administrative. Far as I could tell, it was designed for more conventional homebrew blogs, that aren't full of automatic cross-linkage the way LJ is...

I see an entry consisting only of a title, "I am not a number...", and several comments on that entry, all of which strongly imply that there is something more to the original post than a bare title. Can someone tell me what I'm missing?

There is a graphic, the text of which reads "I am a statistic", and links to a thesis project by an MIT student, a survey on blogs and social networks.
