Just as, or perhaps more critical then visible function of Blog Platforms, is the safety of the private information these Platforms may be gathering, unbeknownst to the unwitting Publisher who installs them, about their site.
P.U.B. [Publishers Union of Bloggers] has pending inquires to Platform Providers concerning how they generate their income and what percentage of this income goes to the Blog Publisher making the critical decision to choose a blog platform for their site for their readers. In addition we are requesting transparency on the critical issue of how the private statistics from Publishers Blogs are being used, hopefully with the Publisher’s permission!
P.U.B. expects to heard back from Blogger on these financial and private statistics issues. When we do 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 on different platforms too. Let us know if you have any follow up on any of these important issues for the blog community.
Will publish these results to keep the community of Blog Publishers informed on this critical component of Widgets on our Blogs.
Barney Moran, P.U.B.
