Search Engines as the Ear of God

I've found the discussions about AOL's releasing search data fascinating.  It is as if we are reading modern psalms, cries into the cyber-wilderness.   Of course, there are those who seek to satisfy their desire; who seek for financial security, for love, to find old friends.  Search Engines have become the ears of God. 

I'm reminded of "The Listening Post" a fascinating exhibit worth recalling.
