Disggregation in Google's Desktop Search

According to the Wall Street Journal, Google's latest update to its desktop search program lets users take search information from one computer and place it on another. And another feature lets users share news with friends via a "Sidebar" program.

These services offer the disaggregation of information from the computer upon which it is stored. Like the Vizrea service, it makes the indvidual computer into tool to view the data intead of a tool that stores the data. While it isn't a new concept, Google's involvement will certainly give the idea better visibility.
