Happy to see someone else had this idea.  I wrote something similar a
while back in Python with the Google API and called it GoogleSweep. 
It does simple wildcarding of subnets, optional reverse dns (if you
want to search hostnames too and don't mind the DNS traffic),
"bursting" to ration out API calls (you only get 1000 a day), and
pretty output in the form of HTML charts and/or comma-delimited text.

Loads of fun to run on your network to see how much information's out
there about it.
