Leadpages –
we use Leadpages to collect names and email addresses when offering upgraded content in

Askimet –
we use Askimet to block spam comments. It’s a plug-in that blocks suspicious comments
(including suspicious IP addresses) so that we don’t have to spend huge chunks of time deleting spam
comments. You can view their terms of service right here: https://akismet.com/tos/
Twitter –
we use Twitter so each person that has a Twitter account will have their avatar pop up when
they comment on a blog post. We use this so that readers can better picture each other when chatting
back and forth. This only works if the user has a public Twitter account.
