[Web4lib] Lack of discussion of Google CSE and Libraries

[Drew, Bill]

Because the present government wants to look over my shoulder.

Ha ha, why? Because government things in the States are as slow as usually are in my country?
 
Hahahaha, that would be a really good reason ;-)

	I know some hate the idea of a company coming up with such things, but I do not necessarily feel that way.  Better a company than government!

	Sure Bill, you´re right. That´s the pity. Wouldn´t have been great to have these kind of feautres offered to anyone before, years ago? 
	 
	And by governments instead of companies? And by great / national libraries first?
	 
	Leading, not following...

		I must politely disagree.  This is something new in that it can be used by anyone and does not require a lot of technical skills.  Of course, some may not like that idea. It is also platform independent.

		Probably the worst thing is that this feature is really really old; years
		and years ago you could do this, the same, with other tools, like for
		instance I remember we did that with Excalibur retrieval´s robot (paying, 
		ok, but very cheap in terms of what you could achieve)
