What is this tracking thing? I haven't tried to figure it out.

It seems to be a tad controversial.

I haven't seen any complaints about it. It's a very cool feature, which goes a good way toward fixing the primary problem with livejournal (that it's a horrible medium for medium-length conversations).

And as long as they stick to the current model (that you can't subscribe to any type of event that you couldn't get by just polling), there's no reason to complain about it -- it makes it easier to follow, say, the replies to a specific post (or find out when a community or journal is posted to without having to remember to check) without writing tools to make this happen, and in general, is an unambiguous Good Thing. (one they've been promising for over four years).

Oh, I think it's a good idea generally, but some are concerned about privacy issues/stalking.

I'm sure most people on my flist won't mind, but figured I'd put everyone at ease about it and just not use it for now, rather than worrying who's okay with it and who isn't.
