Twits on Twitter 1
A fatwa on selling twits?
This website does not track you.
It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.
Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.
I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.
Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.

I was laughing with a friend about the sale of Twitter and Facebook astro-turf accounts the other day and he came up with an URL pointing out Newt Gingrich’s followers on Twitter — all having names suspiciously like the Red Lectroids in The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai. The used to sell YouTube subscribers and fans by I they haven’t been so obvious in the past couple of years.
