What does geo.yahoo.com and del.icio.us have in common?
And first of all… what is geo.yahoo.com?
I know, the address is not in use and you get to a “Sorry, the page you requested was not found” message when you type it in a browser. My guess would be it is some kind of IP geolocation service such as navizon and co. Or else I wouldn’t see any reason that makes the Firefox Del.icio.us extension invoke scripts from geo.yahoo.com.
What’s cooking, doc? is del.icio.us too spying on us now?

To add to this I was just reading an email sent from a Yahoo! Group I’m a member of. It was wanting permission to load an image. When I approved but didn’t see an image load I became skeptical. Looking at the souce was a call to a 1×1 transparent pixel (the old spacer gif makes a come-back) been loaded from geo.yahoo.com.
Looks like another call back to the mothership. Bad Yahoo.

Digging a bit futher. Google might not know much about it, but Yahoo! know pleanty about itself (but nothing descriptive).
http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=geo.yahoo.com
Over 63 million results. Not only is that a great way to boost the size of your index (there’s a pick-up line there, somewhere), it’s also a great way to mess up your “tracking” reports.
