Today there is a post on Search Engine Lowdown by Garrett French that does a great job of summarizing the recent Google versus US Government standoff on the privacy of Internet search.

The story began last week when Google ignored a federal subpoena. This issue of online privacy and "what does it mean?" may turn into one of the bigger stories of this new year. I foresee one thing happening: the national awareness of Internet search and search engines will skyrocket.

Garrett French's summary of the events can be viewed here. Please share any new happenings, as I think we should all stay current on this...it is our workspace.
