This article doesn't even mention the biggest problem with Tynt: copying and pasting code snippets. I hate it when Tynt is installed on a website that has code snippets or tutorials. When I copy the code I have to delete the Tynt message. It wouldn't be so bad if it was smart enough to detect the coding language and insert the attribution within comments. I suggested that feature months ago when I first discovered Tynt, but they never implemented it or even responded.

That's actually a feature I wish existed in e.g. StackOverflow. They actually do know which language code is written in, so they should include a comment before the copied code which links to the question. I do this myself with any snippets I copy from sites, since I always find myself going back to the site at least once.
