I am tech blogger. I have some plans to add a live traffic feed widget on my blog.It looks cool but I am worried whether it will scare away my readers by any chance.I dont see a valid reason if you ask why, but I think that some people may take it as an invasion of privacy.

What you guys think about this?

Put up a disclaimer on your blog... state that your privacy is being invaded and you know where your visitor is coming from. 

that should do it... and dont make it prominent. Its the user;s choice and the end of the day he gives every information to google or other sides too... so it shouldnt matter at all... and you are not gonna use his/her ip address anyways.. just make a statement that third party apps may store this info. please visit the (third party) privacy polies.
