Google’s new Autolink feature flies in the face of Larry and Sergei’s “Do No Evil” motto. 
I wonder what they were thinking when they introduced something that caused a PR disaster for Microsoft and forced them to pull the feature from their IE browser.
I mean do you really want your visitors seeing links on your website that you didn’t place there? Take away control from webmasters, and you’re facing one of the most vociferous (and powerful) communities online. 
I’m sure Google is going to get much flak for this one. And they deserve it!
Thanks to Adam Maywald who pointed out this great spoof on the Autolink feature.

Update: Sure enough webmasters have come up with a way to turn off Google’s evil autolink feature with bit of javascript that you can get here.
