Googling State Government

Google plans to announce today that it is working with officials in state government in Arizona, California, Utah and Virginia to make sure all the public information they have online is easily accessible through the company's search engine...

As part of a voluntary public-private sector partnership, Google has been helping technology managers in Arizona, California, Utah and Virginia remove technical barriers that prevent the search giant from adding information to its index. Some state government documents are hidden behind design elements of the Web site or, more commonly, in a database that a search engine's crawlers can't access, said J.L. Needham, manager of public sector content partnerships at Google.
This is a potential boon for bloggers in those states (and the rest of the country once Google takes it nationwide).
