Yes, that is us, Tynt (www.tynt.com) on all the sites mentioned. Our analytics are tracking hundreds of thousands of sites worldwide. The attribution link feature is something that individual site owners can turn on and off. Also note that we don't track any personally identifiable information. We track content and help publishers learn what content of theirs people are finding most engaging.
What if I don’t want this behavior? We are currently working on a global opt out for users who would rather not have Tynt monitor their actions when they visit a site. In the interim you can opt out on a site by site basis (i.e. the opt out for the SF Gate is here: http://www.sfgate.com/chronicle/faq.shtml#faq1.5#ixzz0bxLIAbL7 http://www.sfgate.com/chronicle/faq.shtml#faq1.5#ixzz0bxLIAb...

- ryanwaggoner 17y agoJust curious...how did you find this story on HN so quickly?
- sucuri2 17y agoHe replied 2 hours after... Not so quickly.
- ryanwaggoner 17y agoPretty fast if you're being mentioned all over the web and you're not already a HN user (he just signed up for that comment), AND neither the story linked to or the title on HN said anything about Tynt or what they do.
- emilam 17y agoSomeone mentioned tynt in an earlier comment
- tdmackey 17y agoI imagine a surge of users from news.yc set off a few flags considering their product is intended to monitor this sort of thing.
- mahmud 17y agoGoogle Alerts, my man. Excellent for putting out fires, btw.
