"AOL researchers recently published the search logs of about 650,000 members—a total of 36,389,629 individual searches..." WOW!

Like Boutin, the first thing that came to my mind was - wow - what data! ("AOL's 36 million log entries might look like an Orwellian nightmare to you, but for us it's a user transaction case study to die for.")

Boutin writes an amusing article about what he found and how to search for it yourself (tip: see printer-friendly version).
