Here is to hoping Google will follow suit!

It's cool, but it feels like Bing trying to grab a little attention. I doubt they're at a point where they can process link data for a Penguin-style smackdown the way Google can.

I do wish Google would do the same. In spite of the fact that it might lead to some abuse. Right now I could basically run a blackmail scheme against legitimate webmasters by pointing crappy links at their sites, then telling them to pay me $500 to take them down.
