You On Top

It is about 6 weeks now since Google has published its’ new toolbar with the “Autolink” feature and it seems that the controversy is growing…
Here is an article from the Washington Post that adds more wood to the fire:

• More auto-links are in the works (ex. telephone area codes, which link to maps of covered regions, and UPC or bar codes, which retrieve links to product descriptions.

This seems very arrogant off Googles’ side to do so as the controversy over this feature is growing and remains unresolved.
