I would still be concerned about it, I really don't want people to mess around with my content to visit my competitors (or lose me ad revenue)

BTW It seems as if the person behind Microsoft SmartTags, Jeff Reynar, is behind this too! According to his personal home page, he is currently a Google project manager.

This also brings to mind another question - If Google is able to get away with it, will Microsoft and Yahoo follow?

Oh boy, isn?t it contradictory to the whole Google Philosophy of Do no evil?
