One place where you can search AOL's inadvertently leaked queries of 658K subscribers (mentioned at http://news.com.com/AOL+apologizes+for+rel..._3-6102793.html) is http://www.aolsearchdatabase.com/. http://news.com.com/AOLs+disturbing+glimps...098.html?tag=nl has some interesting of examples of searches and hypotheses that one can draw from them...
Alright, that's just downright freakinshly bizarre. But once you get going, it's a little addictive. Enter a search term and you get all the people who did a search on that term. Then click a user number to see all the searches that person did. Eerie. Luckily, no one's queried me.
Some of it is pretty scary. Tony's right - it is addicting. I did a search on Priuschat and came up with only one result. OK guys- which one of us is AOL user 1115193? This person has a 2005 Prius; shops at Sears; has a Motorola 551; uses paypal; Pizza Hut and Pearl Vision. Lives in Illinois; feeds their dog Iams; and much much more.
