That's a good question, Daniel. I hadn't even thought of that.

I guess I don't mind them (on my own or anyone else's blog) because
they don't appear on every link, and they're very tiny. Plus I kind
of think of them as informational, in the sense that they tell people
what others clicked on. But perhaps that's not a good enough excuse.

I actually enabled that feature more for my own purposes than to show
others. Maybe to be consistent I should remove it.

Mathew,

I also find the popups extremely annoying. I was wondering, however, why then do you have the MyBlogLog popups on the outgoing links?

I kind of like the ability to find Creative Commons images and other
content -- to embed in the post, that is. Put it in as a text-link
popup and your blog is dead to me :-)

I'm tempted to add it just out of spite :-)

More seriously, this kind of thing can be highly useful if done tastefully and with fine-grained control over which things get tagged --but I don't get that sense yet on this one.
