Permalink for external links
I would like to use permalink for external links on my site. For example, if I have this link on my site: google.com, it should rewrite to [and show the reader]:
mysite.com/go/google
Is this possible? Any ideas on how to go about doing this in .htaccess?

You can't rewrite external urls. Rewriting doesn't look at your html code, it looks at the request sent to Apache, and pulls content based on your rewrite rule.
