Boing Boing Says: “Google Accelerator is bad news for Web apps”

According to Cory Doctorow at Boing Boing:


Google Accelerator wreaks havoc on Web-apps by “clicking every link” on every control screen in order to cache it—so it also ends up clicking on “Delete my account” and “Launch pre-emptive nuclear strike,” etc

It’s probably not even accessible, but don’t install Google Accelerator anyway.

    Oh, no. By all means don’t install this web accelerator. That looks truly scarey indeed! Seems this stuff would be better tested before release? Pretty big oversight there…
    I must say one good thing about Google. Their Google Desktop Search is extremely accessible! Check it out.
