Cookies from both Newsvine.com and Myspace.com are automatically installed into the ff browser, regardless if I am actively using this script. Everytime I clear my cookies and visit another site, Newsvine and Myspace show up in the cookies list (sometimes either one or the other).

I despise anything myspace. Will not use script until I can guarantee I'm not being used for myspace or newsvine marketing purposes.

You have a good point. I'll have to think about this a bit, as the icons on the post bar are the site favicons (myspace.com/favicon.ico). I may have to embed them in the script.

If you look at the "how this works" discussion, you'll see that nothing underhanded is happening, and I'm not sending any marketing information, but the sites may well be able to log the referrer URL.

I'll look into it for you.

The latest version completely fixes the issue - the icons are now embedded in the script (in Base64) - no data is requested from external sites.

You are most welcome. I'm glad it's getting some use.
