Dave Winer’s worst nightmare
In the spirit of the childish foot-stamping that is marking the “debate” around Google’s Autolink toolbar functionality, I now present Dave Winer’s worst nightmare. Drag this bookmarklet onto your toolbar, and hit it every time you read his rantings.
Scripting.com fixer-upperThe code is mostly search-and-replace a webpage, with the following rules at the end:
searchWithinNode(document.body,'Google','the world\'s finest search engine, Google');
searchWithinNode(document.body,'Adam','inventor of podcasting, Adam');
searchWithinNode(document.body,'Scoble','my boyfriend, Scoble');
searchWithinNode(document.body,'wrong','probably correct');
searchWithinNode(document.body,'Dave','Google');
searchWithinNode(document.body,'Winer','Inc.');
searchWithinNode(document.body,'RSS','Atom (and its inferior predecessor, RSS)');
searchWithinNode(document.body,'Bing','Duh');
If I get a free minute, I’ll make it into a Firefox extension so you don’t even need to click the button.
It’s a slippery slope, my friends.
