Opting Out Of Getting Tracked

In LJ_biz, (here) they've announced that they're going to use Omniture to collect even more info on who goes where, with what tools, and views what links. I disagree with that protocol. Ergo, I have followed their suggestions for all my accounts, paid and free, gone to the Admin console, (here), and I entered the following: "set opt_exclude_stats 1".

I'm adding in the two links here, for clarity:

LJ_biz is here: http://community.livejournal.com/lj_biz/

Admin console is here: http://www.livejournal.com/admin/console/

For what it's worth, I agree with your rant, especially given that they're only sampling their users, and not actually collecting data on everyone. That said, I opted out because it took about ten seconds, and I'd opt out of any number of other tracking things given the choice.
