Along with Siva's "Googlization of Everything" blog and Ralf's kind suggestion of my own (thanks), you might also want to check out the recent issue of the Journal of Business & Technology Law which was dedicated to Google. <http://www.law.umaryland.edu/journal/jbtl/current_issue.asp> Further, Dr. Amanda Spink and I recently edited a book of a broad range of scholarship on search engines, much of which discusses Google: "Web Search: Multidisciplinary Perspectives" (it is pricey - ask your library to acquire it :) <http://www.springer.com/computer/database+management+%26+information +retrieval/book/978-3-540-75828-0> The associated bibliographies from these texts might prove fruitful, as well as the bibliography of ethical and privacy dimensions of web search engines I've started to assemble here: <http:// michaelzimmer.org/2007/06/30/scholarship-on-privacy-and-search-engines/> Good luck!

i am currently writing a small and general public article about the importance of Google and its "imperialism", both economically and in our daily Internet practices. I am thinking now about covering the monopolistic tendencies of Google as well as some concerns around privacy issues.
Please let me know when the article is published.
i will be happy if anybody can refer me to more extensive and academic work that has already been done around Google.
Have a look at Michael Zimmer's blog. He has written some good papers and blog posts about the privacy aspects.
