Google to Introduce the Nofollow Link Tag Attribute

I slightly criticized a solution to prevent link spam by using a nofollow tag, and then posts that Google will indeed be announcing this as a plan today at the Official Google Blog. News of this comes way of scobleizer.

I find it interesting that even though Google is promoting the new attribute to avoid passing value from a link to a spammy site, they fail to use it on their own blog in their example. Instead they use a redirect.
