Professional publishers: copy and paste now can be tracked with Tynt

July 15, 2010 | Robert Scoble

If you are a professional publisher, you can probably study everything about your audience except when your audience copies text from your website and pastes it into email or Facebook or a blog. Wouldn’t you like to know more? Absolutely! Tynt has a neat trick: when a user copy-and-pastes text it uses Javascript to include a link back to your text. Now it can be tracked and Derek Ball, CEO of Tynt, shows us how it’s done.

Awesome conversation thanks for doing it! Looking forward to moving to the era of digital democracy from digital royalty. Ctl C is done by 86% of us, links are only created by 1% – the lense of what is important on the web is just about to change radically!

Wow! How come I haven’t heard of this tool before? I will have to install this and try it out. I hope it doesn’t slow down my page load times. I bet Google will buy them in the next 6 months.
