Siva Vaidhyanathan’s Googlization blog
I am remiss not to have mentioned Siva Vaidhyanathan‘s new blog about Google and the implications of their projects: The Googlization of Everything. It’s really top notch commentary on Google, with further depth, detail and comprehensiveness than is usually found in a blog. Note that Siva says it is a book in progress.

Those interested in the topic should check out the following podcast – the event was hosted in Milwaukee by the UWM School of Information Studies.

Easily one of the most dynamic and vibrant speakers on the state of information ethics and information sharing – enjoy!
Thanks!

Sorry about the temperature and the lack of desserts…
Well, we all have to choose our battles.
He’s worried about the message (i.e. the content). In a networked world, I’m far more worried about the massager (i.e. the network).
I think AT&T & Friends are far more problematic than Google ever could hope to be.
That’s where I focus my nightmares.
In defense of Google, it provides a great search engine which has helped revolutionize the speed and method in which people obtain information.
Coming at this VERY late to offer a link to an audio of Mr. Vaidhyanathan’s Windsor lecture at the University of Illinois. It was dynamic and brilliant. I learned so much from him about Google and its implications to libraries.
