For all that have not seen it yet.. This article came out today in the wall street journal.

To sum it all up, Google has opted to give up data on which governments have been requesting information about the individuals conducting suspect searches on the site.
A small snippet:
“Google is also showing how often it complies with government demands to remove Web content and said it later plans to include how often it turns over data on users. Google's disclosure tool, an online country map, excluded data for China where Google says numerating the requests would be illegal.”
Check out the available data here: http://www.google.com/governmentrequests/
On a separate note:
While on Google I was browsing the latest updates in Google labs (http://www.googlelabs.com/ ) and found some good quality in the follow finder:
http://followfinder.googlelabs.com/
This app analyzes public social graph information (following and follower lists) on Twitter to find people.. I found some use in the speed of which this app finds the followers. This saves me much time from doing it manually (if that was something I wanted to do).
