OK, we’re not making any promises, but this may be the last post on the AOL search data dump. Maybe.
Sorry, but we just can’t resist the analysis people are conducting on the released search data.
The Wall Street Journal is the latest to chime in and notes the most searched for word from the 600,000+ violated AOL users is “free.” And we thought it would be “better ISP.”
Next on the list was “new”, followed by (excluding proper nouns and improper ones like “Paris Hilton”): “lyrics,” “county,” “school,” “city,” “home,” “state,” “pictures,” “music,” “sale,” “beach,” “high,” “map,” “center” and “sex.”
Lee Gomes investigates the data around the last term: “Among the sex searchers, there were 50,549 inquires for nude pictures. Perhaps for the first time in Internet history, the person most requested wasn’t Pamela Anderson. In fact, it wasn’t even a woman, but Peter Wentz, boyish singer of pop group Fall Out Boy. Ms. Anderson was second, followed by Paris Hilton.” Ah, thar she blows.
