Is The New Google Toolbar Stealing Traffic?
Andy Beal mentions an article on CNet that suggests the new AutoLink feature in the Google Toolbar could be accused of stealing traffic.
I still haven't had a chance to try out the new toolbar, but everything I've read about it leads me to believe that it's a fairly benign applicaction, that only provides actually useful info (Read: not ads), and even that is only upon a user's request for the info. I don't see how that's any different than just searching from the google toolbar. Keep in mind this is Google we're talking about, so it's sure to catch a lot of attention, but that's to be expected in these Google-happy times.
