Visiting a site that uses Disqus when not logged in sends URL to Facebook

1. Good point; I'm not really sure where I was going with this now; GitHub and another CDN are basically the same. I must've been distracted while replying!

2. Yeah, it's not ideal. In this case, it looks like Disqus are gonna fix stuff though (they've commented on my post; there's a link right at the top of the article now).

3. I don't have access to the server logs as I'm running on GitHub Pages, so something like Analytics is all I have. I do find it useful (given no server logs), it's nice to see the traffic to my blog; there's no point posting if nobody is reading! :-)

2. That's pretty good!

3. That is very interesting, now knowing your stack (pages + disqus + adverts) I see one side of the 'problem' is that bloggers don't have much choice in terms of revenue, so the infrastructure charges with user data . The other side is likely the complexity, incompatibility, and time wasting of home rolled solutions.

The really nice part of a CDN deployed blog is handling the traffic spikes though.
