  Microsoft Reacts to SmartTag Pressure
Time: 06:18 EST/11:18 GMT | News Source: Scobleizer | Posted By: Viper

We have learned that future versions of Microsoft's Internet Explorer 6.0 will have new SmartTag features that answer most, if not all, of the concerns of Web site owners that have been expressed about SmartTags over the past few days. We learned these things from a leak from a "well-placed" Microsoft developer. These three changes are going to be made in future versions of IE 6.0

  • SmartTags will be off by default. (Users will be able to toggle them on or off using a toolbar button),
  • Web masters will be able to turn off SmartTags. They will do that by using a metatag and users will no longer be able to override the "turn off SmartTag" metatag,
  • No recognizers will ship by default. This answers our biggest concern that Microsoft would use SmartTags as "free advertising" and take folks off of sites without asking the site manager (and without the site manager having any control over the issue).
