http://news.com.com/AOLs+disturbing+...tml?tag=st.num
(read rest of story) AOL's publication of the search histories of more than 650,000 of its users has yielded more than just one of the year's bigger privacy scandals. The 21 million search queries also have exposed an innumerable number of life stories ranging from the mundane to the illicit and bizarre. For its part, AOL has apologized for a researcher's disclosure of the massive database and has yanked the file from its Web site. It was too late: The database already had been mirrored. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I personally don't care what kind of information anyone piles up regarding me. I'm not important enough that anyone would be interested in reading it or caring either way. Kind of wierd though and I guess embarassing for AOL. So much for their big come back. |

I figure if someone stole my identity they would end up sending it back to me with a bill for injuring their credit.
