Check this out! I "stumbled upon" this site using stumble upon extension for firefox and here it is...
http://www.google.com/press/zeitgeist.html Google's Search Result Statisitics... I wish they would have included more information about what O/S people use, and what browsers ppl are using too. |

I dont think google includes stats like OS and what Browsers people use because;
This may result in Breaking googles Privacy Policy? by publicly showing of Private information, Or they may not show this information because This type of information and stats are worth some big cash. |

It's funny to see what people are trying to look-up on the internet. Reflects what most of us are up to these days.

QUOTE I dont think google includes stats like OS and what Browsers people use because; This may result in Breaking googles Privacy Policy? by publicly showing of Private information, Mass-collected information whish is aggregated for statistical purposes and presented to the public is not in violation of ethical responsibilities regarding privacy, as it is not personally identifiable. A site may reveal that 40% of their visitors use, for example, Windows XP and Internet Explorer 6.0; but that could be any 40% of their visitors, and as long as they are not linked to an IP address or other identifiable information, it is completely anonymous (there are exceptions, of course). It is advisable to note such practices in your privacy policy, but unless the policy explicitly states that you will not make available such information, then it is generally fine to do so. Regarding Google's privacy policy: QUOTE We may share with third parties certain pieces of aggregated, non-personal information, such as the number of users who searched for a particular term, for example, or how many users clicked on a particular advertisement. Such information does not identify you individually. And from their privacy FAQ: QUOTE What is aggregated non-personal information? "Aggregate non-personal information" is information that is recorded about users and collected into groups so that it no longer reflects or references an individually identifiable user. As such, for them to make such information as browser and OS usage available to the public would be perfectly acceptable. They obviously have other reasons for not doing so (or maybe they do provide it publicly somewhere that you and I just don't know about yet). |

I didn't even know about half the things on that list but it is quite funny to see what people search for. I personally haven't search for anything like that but who knows?
