So the other day some AOL employees posted a data set of nearly 37 million individual searches (made by about 650,000 members). That averages to like 56 searches per member. I'm not sure if 56 search entries can paint a picture of the user, but I'm sure it's fun trying. Anyway, Paul Boutin over at Slate has used the software of the startup company he works for to go over the searches and come up with 7 amorphous profiles. It's a very curious and interesting (and funny) read.
I guess I'm an Omnivore though I'm not sure that fits entirely because the majority of my searches are for film related sites. Anyway, it is a fun read. Click already!
