AOL released 20 million web queries from 650,000 AOL users.

I'm surprised nobody already started a thread about this.
Today AOL released all queries made by 650 000 users between march and may 2006.
I won't comment what this means or could be used for- see some date here:

What do you mean? Too many popups / possible adware?

How many of those 20 million searches are "new ISP"?

 

[missedcall]

didn't get the list but out of 20 million searches that means that private info could be included ...did Aol filtered out 20M searches before giving it out ?

out of 20M some ppl entered credit card numbers and other info on the search box ...
