TalkBack: Autolink is bad for publishers | reader response on| CNET News.com

I haven't done much editorializing within this blog (thus far) but Google's AutoLinks have me a bit incensed (after reading bits from
Dave Winer and folks he's pointed us to.) All the more so since Neil Gaiman keeps admonishing us to "make good art."
And then Charles Cooper over at CNET.com puts up an article belittling the issue. I added my 2 cents there:
