We at P.U.B. consider the safety of the information any app or widget(s) may be gathering, unbeknownst to the unwitting Publisher who installs them. P.U.B. [Publishers Union of Bloggers] has pending inquires to Widget Providers concerning how they generate their income and what percentage of this income goes to the Blog Publisher making the critical decision to allow a Widget on their site for their readers. In addition we are requesting transparency on the critical issue of how the private statistic from Publishers Blogs are being used, hopefully with the Publisher’s permission! P.U.B. expects to heard back from Lijit on these financial and private statistics issues from P.U.B’s inquiry we sent to Lijit in mid April 2008. Based on Lijit’s prompt and courteous service to publishers who choose to install the Lijit Widget, we anticipate a transparent answer from them any second now! When we get this speedy and transparent response from Lijit Networks we will let great Blog Publishers like you know their deal. Currently we are also working with Blog Publishers to track performance hit evaluations of Widgets too. Will publish these results to keep the community of Blog Publishers informed on this critical component of Widgets on our Blogs. Sincerely, Barney Moran for P.U.B.
