Those are idiotic. Except toolbar pagerank. I can see google dumping that. But reseting links and implementing a "dofollow" tag thus negating every link ever generated? The only people who -would- benefit from this are the link sellers, who will just adjust their links to ensure credit. The actual legitimate linkers will be the ones hurt by this. It's opposite of google's intent.
Well I hope that "Dofollow" tag is just a rumour. If its not, it will mean changing hundreds of links of hundreds of different websites - not something I would greatly be looking forward to.
Rumors are just that RUMORS. There have been so many over the years that some are laughable at best. There is a rumor that PR is ending every time the update does not go as planned. I have to agree that the best one is the "do follow." Google would shoot themselves in the foot by doing something so stupid and Google is far from stupid. To me this is just a way to stir things up and for the author of the blog to attract readers. A lot of webmasters spend their free time looking for doom, this author just feeds on that need.
hoax ..... The 2 clicks for adsense is just commercial suicide. But the pagerank would be a good, if impossible to impliment, idea. Just a no content blog post looking to create some attention.
