Culturomics
The Guardian reports on "a new online tool developed by Google with the help of scientists at Harvard University. The massive searchable database is being hailed as the key to a new era of research in the humanities, linguistics and social sciences that has been dubbed "culturomics"." I know I will be spending a good deal of time playing around with this site: it will be exciting to see the projects and papers it enables.
