Tones As far as I understand it there is total antipathy to any kind of collective tracking for TW built in. I think that is good.
One simple thing might be a meta tag announcing "This is a TW" in the header a trawler might recognise. I see no harm in that. So long as you can delete it. I am totally opposed to anything that "polls" or "sniffs" around.
