Nope. It's less ironic than googling "google" to find the main site (which a lot of my less-tech-savvy friends do), and search engines are the best source of info on these topics.

The question is, do Google, Yahoo!, and/or Microsoft follow rel="nofollow" links?

Is it just me that finds it ironic that we're solving problems with search engines by Googling them?
