  1. How Tynt.com says to avoid being tracked... on Tynt Insight Is Watching You Cut and Paste · · Score: 5, Informative

    This from their FAQ - Technical Topics (http://www1.tynt.com/faq-technical-topics):

    Q. How can I block Tynt Insight from monitoring my actions?

    A. Tynt understands that some people are uncomfortable having events from their web browsing recorded in a database. We take your privacy concerns seriously and we are therefore investing considerable effort into developing a feature that will allow users to block Tynt software across all the sites that are using it, from within their own browser. Until we have this blocking feature ready, it is possible to achieve a similar effect by using one of the many ad blocking components available on the net. For Firefox users, we have found Adblock plus to work well, and Super Ad Blocker is effective for IE users.

    I can't wait to download and install software they've written to help me block them from tracking me with their software. Good thing I'm using Ad Block Plus and NoScript while I wait, or they'd know I cut-n-pasted that...
