No. They're both "reserved" loop-back addresses, but 127.0.0.1 has more cultural/conventional weight for this explicit purpose and also avoids any possible semantic overloads with dotted-quad zero and/or null values.
Since I have a local web server running that will respond on 127.0.0.1 I'd just as soon avoid the overhead of the wasted hit and rendering of the local page, unless there was some notable value to using that address over all nulls.
Your local webserver will likely also respond on 0.0.0.0; if you bind to a port on 0.0.0.0, you listen on all interfaces, which is the default in apache.
From a PR review I thought it was clear messaging - understanding but not apologetic and got me to read their case study - well played tynt, well played
iVillage who have realized 800,000 new visits thanks to Tynt’s link-back service
No it's not visits: the linked case study says 800k links. Mind you, that's also very good (from an SEO perspective), but it is a very important detail to clarify.
Late reply: yes, it's annoying, but thankfully not many folks seem to have rolled this out. You receive a single popup for a given domain, confirming that you want to block tynt for that site; the page is then reloaded, sans tynt.
There's another extension based on Tynt Blocker (named, creatively, Tynt Blocker 2) that doesn't ask for confirmation first:

I will forevermore pronounce Tynt as taint.

I can't recommend this Chrome extension enough. :)
