We (the CUPS Lab-- http://cups.cs.cmu.edu/) have greatly benefited
from the AOL data. In fact, the data set comprised of 20,000 search
terms gathered over a week was created for a study we conducted last
summer. The study examines P3P adoption across search results from
three popular search engines (Google, Yahoo, and AOL). I will be
presenting this paper next week at the International Conference on
Electronic Commerce. The full paper can be found here: http://

AOL was instrumental in conducting this study.

I should comment that there are plans for major measurements of the
Internet. We MUST be careful to expose any released data to those
in research who have studied the problems that AOL ran into.

Dave,
We need to be sure to give AOL credit for attempting to serve the
interests of the research community. They made 6 different datasets
available, with the explicit goal of making it possible for university
researchers to work "at scale" on realistic problems in an open and
collaborative way. Yes, there was a mistake in terms of the privacy
implications of one of the datasets. But AOL was attempting a good
deed
-- unfortunately, a good deed that will not go unpunished. Let's not
lose track of this.
