According to a TechCrunch story , Citibank is putting a warning message up for users of comment and blog tracking services. As it turns out, there is a known issue with the coComment plug-in and, though I'm not familiar with the service, it sounds like BlogRovr also has a browser extension. Since I use MyBlogLog here, I want to re-emphasize that this message above doesn't apply to this service. MyBlogLog works by saving a cookie to your machine under the @mybloglog.com domain. When you go to a site that has included the MyBlogLog JavaScript, it can interact with that cookie and know who you are. The MyBlogLog tracking script does have some logic for tracking clicks within an IFRAME (to handle Google AdSense clicks). Since Citibank doesn't include the MyBlogLog script on their page, it doesn't interact with the service. When you're here or on any other blog that uses MyBlogLog, the service doesn't even know you were on the Citibank page much less being able to track...
