Google Web Accelerator: Hey, not so fast - an alert for web app designers - Signal vs. Noise (by 37signals)

Just an FYI for those of you who have your own websites.
"..... Here’s the problem: Google is essentially clicking every link on the page — including links like “delete this” or “cancel that.” And to make matters worse, Google ignores the Javascript confirmations. So, if you have a “Are you sure you want to delete this?” Javascript confirmation behind that “delete” link, Google ignores it and performs the action anyway."

Very scary, some other concerns about the Google web accelerator, which I see nothings been mentioned about on the blog yet...

NEVAH forget privacy!
[UPDATE] from http://webaccelerator.google.com/
Thank you for your
interest in Google Web Accelerator.
We have currently reached our
maximum capacity of users and
are actively working to increase
the number of users we can support.

[UPDATE2] Google Hacked? I've not read the entire thing, but thought the relevance required an update.... Does THIS make you feel safer??????????
