    AOL creepy user watch: volume 9

    [Update: Hi, new reader! If you want more current AOL creepy user news, check out AOL creepy user watch: Volume 10, Volume 11, and Volume 12 — each creepier than the volume below. True addicts can subscribe to the Valleywag AOL news feed.]

    • Google plans to keep recording search records like the ones AOL leaked last week. CEO Eric Schmidt cites "very sophisticated security plans" — in other words, Google employees are actually taught not to publicly release a massive database of private info. [CIO]
    • Our brother blog Consumerist lays out the surgical tools for dissecting AOL's records. [Consumerist]
    • Splunkd.com has the sexiest search tool for those records. [Splunkd]
    • Best of the worst searches found by Consumerist readers: from morning sickness to abortion, a leather daddy, and a girl worried about getting pregnant and "what does god mean when he says bless those who spitefully use you."
    • Reader Kevin points out one user (a psychiatric counselor looking for a job in Colorado) obsessed with quick weight loss. She's turned to the book of Revelation, the zodiac, psychic schools, private investigators, and Victorian poetry. She (or a patient) dreams about being drenched in blood. [AOL search record for User 1912452]
