Subject: Google's Autolink: smart tags revisited?

MS¹ implementation of a feature called ³smart tags² generated a lot of hate
and discontent because it gave MS a way to add links to other people¹s
content. The uproar was such that they decided to turn off the feature in
beta, and eventually chose not to ship it. Is Google doing the same thing
with their Autolink feature? Looks that way to me. A more detailed
discussion is at  http://www.e2ksecurity.com/archives/001300.html.
