First, there was an attempt by Microsoft (called SmartTags) to insert links into web pages. I thought it was foul, and implemented Microsoft Free Friday, which caught on and to its credit, Microsoft withdrew.
Then the idea occured to Google, which implemented AutoLink -- it is same bullshit, but folks tolerated it, because it came from the "Do No Evil" company.
Now Mark Pilgrim has released "Butler", a tool that does to Google what it is trying to do to others.
Turns and twists of the Net... Gotta love it.
