Who is getting the ping data?
The excellent journalists at 404 Media uncovered information about Automattic selling data to “AI” companies from WordPress.com and Tumblr. A number of people have jumped in to say that “WordPress.com != WordPress” which is a fair point, but this is where I touch the onion on my belt and point out that even WordPress sends pings to Ping-o-Matic by default and does anyone know who gets a real-time feed of that data?
i don’t like “better feed”
i finally saw someone make mention of the plugin that adds the load of awful crap to the end of some people’s blog entries which clutters things up on sites like planet mysql. it’s called “better feed.”
clearly, “better” is in the eye of the beholder. i find it to be an eyesore.
