Google Autolinker

Philipp Lenssen's Google Blogoscoped shows the results of a tool that "checks Google for the longest occurrences of strings from a text on the web, and then turns it into a link." I.e., if you run your page through it, it finds any phrases that have a significant number of hits in Google, and links each phrase to its top return. (I think.) Cool idea. Alas, Philipp writes that the tool is too slow to be made public, although he offers to run it by hand if you send him email, which I hope for his sake vast numbers of people don't. [Thanks, Hanan, for the link.] [Technorati tag: google]
