Anyone here use AOL? Recognize yourself?

Since AOL released a couple of million search queries grouped by user account yesterday, detailing everything each user searched for in the last few months, it's been real fun to see if you can recognize anyone from their data (the easy ones of course are where someone's searched for their own name or done a map lookup on their home address.. then logged back in and searched for crack dealers in the yellow pages), but in the 2 gigs of data there's some freakishly familiar-looking search terms for users of BB.

If you're an AOL user and you kinda assumed they would keep what you're doing somehow secret, then you missed the small print. Actually it was so small it didn't exist, but it's in there now.

Amelia - you did remember to alter our EULA to mention all the PMs have been sold to The Daily Show, didn't ya?

mG (not on AOL and so grateful nobody knows about his searches for llama porn.. :doh: )

wow i didnt know homosapians still used AOL... I would have figured they wouldve moved onto something more advanced by now, like the wheel.

yeah I had AOL for the longets time and i hated it. The only good thing about it was having a Dynamic IP.
