To help stop the flow of comment spam in MT 2.661, SixApart decided to implement url redirects on user’s comments. While this proved to be very effective, it had the downside of killing usability because you could no longer tell what site was behind the commentor’s link without clicking on it. Well now Tom Werner has come up with a brilliant plugin that includes the title tag for every comment so all you have to do is hover over the link to find the url.
I will be implementing this shortly on all my sites once I piece my computer back together. I am able to magically type this entry through the ethernet jack in the back of my head.

1Ah, yes! The redirect bugs me to no end. I like to see where a link will lead me.

2Very good. Too bad you can’t do some kind of selective system… register and log in to comment and your links go directly, otherwise through the redirect with the title
Ah well. :-)

3It also “breaks” the back button – one of the most heinous crimes.
