Hey. Just a suggestion, but maybe it would have been better from a PR standpoint to come clean with your viewers in a blog post.

Explain how it happened without your knowledge. Explain how Wired won't let it ever happen again. Etc. Etc.

Readers love the transparency :)

I'm not sure there's really anything to report back. Tynt is fairly widely used, and is really nothing more than a piece of javascript that watches copy and paste and inserts a link back to the original story into the paste buffer. It's annoying, but there's no profiling going on and is far less of a tracking system than say Google Analytics. It's just more annoying.
