Look for an interesting Google Book Search article in the New Yorker
The magazine just sent it to me. It has some good stuff. I won't post it until the issue is out, though.
Two thoughts: The article, by Jeff Toobin, takes too seriously the promises from Google that tagging and linking will generate good searches. It does offer a very shallow glimpse into the sort of metadata policy Google is installing.
Anyway, check it out.
