Was looking at my arch nemesis John Chow's blog today and noticed 8 million things loading in the status bar. Fired up firebug and holy crap kontera loads SIXTY EIGHT (68) different things:
I could not even fit them all in 1 screen shot on the 30" Apple Studio Display.

And notice the one is a 404 (file not found).... oups.
Looks like a lot of people have been removing them from their site.
I was sitting with a guy from Kontera on a panel at blogworld and was asked point blank why I dont use it. I gave the honest answer...
1) Editorial control - Like with Google Adsense I have very limited editorial control over what is displayed on my site.
2) Selling yourself short - Unless you have some scrapper blog do you really want to give up your reader traffic for pennies?
3) Loading issues - as mentioned above.
I challenged Kontera a while back in my forums (now killed off) and they said they would accept but I have not heard back from them sense.
