In an hour or two I'm speaking about Watching the World Change at a luncheon for employees at the New York offices of Google. Seems like the right audience. The Search-Ad-App behemoth is currently involved in a number of photo-centric initiatives, from GoogleEarth to GoogleSky to scanning a cool million images from the photo archives of the now-defunct Life magazine to the announcement, four days ago, that Google will begin hosting traffic from four key news services on its very own servers (a move that potentially threatens to cut traffic to newspaper Websites, aggregating it, where else?, on Google's Home Sweet Home Page).

Seems time to resurrect a piece I did for Vanity Fair several months back: Dick Cheney's Google searches. CLICK HERE and all will be revealed!

I also recommend this week's cover story in The Economist, "Who's Afraid of Google?"

And, while we're at it, here's an April piece posted on this site: Google, Cameras, and a Cause.

Scary as it is, it's becoming Google's Universe, online, and we just browse in it.
