This has been around on the interwubs quite a lot: America Online managed to spill three months worth of search logs from aol.com, and people were quite quick to parse the search strings for everyone’s amusement.
The fun part is that all searches are related to individual users – you can’t really tell who’s who (unless of course they use that as a search string), but individuals are linked to a user number.
There are a couple of searchable thingies that have sprung up around the aol-fappa, but by far the best one I’ve seen is this one: http://czern.homeip.net/aolsearch/.
Something Awful made quite a scary summery of some of the searches.
People often call me a sick and perverted bastard odd, cause I keep telling them about strange things I find online. Thing is, most of my friends don’t spend as much time online as I do, nor do they follow strange links to dark and murky corners of the internets. I don’t fear to plod along those paths, and I see it as a public service when I inform my friends about the things that I find there; if that happens to be dog-on-cat interracial bondage, can I really be blamed for it? I say not, and if you follow the link to Something Awful, you’ll be convinced that whatever I might dreg up, I’m not in the same league as some of these puppies..
