I can’t remember the date, but as soon as the first official release was out I was using it (unlike Thunderbird and Mozilla Calendar both of which I adopted during their beta phases). Despite using the program daily for all this time, I am still finding new ways to get more out of it, mostly in the form of “extensions” written by wonderful people around the globe with great insight and talent. Yesterday I installed a new extension called Track Me Not. This extension addresses the recently brought to life concern of search sites tracking your search habits and the potential to actually be able to identify an individual through enough saved data.

TechCrunch has followed the story from day one, so if you would like all the details I would suggest starting there. But, if you would like me to summarize, AOL (like all other major search engines) keeps records of exactly all queries made by their users. Approximately 20 million of these queries, from over 650 thousand users, was voluntarily released for academic use. They did remove the user’s names, but they were given anonymous numbers so that researchers could look at all of the queries for a particular user.

In addition to the real privacy concerns, a key point that must be considered is the fact that if useable data is not made available to the wider research community, only the big search companies will be able to analyze that data. We academic researchers are increasingly dependent upon industry for this sort of data to do research; the sort of small-scale data that can be gathered in a university-based setting is simply insufficient for obtaining reliable experimental results. Should companies be prevented from sharing data with the research community (either by law or public outcry), research progress will be greatly reduced, as it will be impossible to compare different studies with one another, since each study's data will be proprietary, and thus no one will be able to trust any research result from another lab. All non-industrial research in this area will more-or-less dry up, and search technology will tend more and more to be developed in "closed-shop" efforts within the large firms; innovative startups and open-source hacking will not exist, since the research projects that serve as launching pads for such technological innovation will not exist. This prospect should disturb us all, as search technology (broadly construed) is more and more the vehicle that people use to gain information about their society and the world. All of this is not meant to ignore the real privacy issues that can be involved in the preparation and release of such data. It appears to me that there was little real privacy risk in the data released by AOL, but it is clear that policies and practices need to be debated and developed that accomplish two essential goals: (a) to protect the privacy of individuals in any sharing of research data, and (b) to ensure that as much useful data can be shared by companies with the greater research community. In this effort researchers and privacy experts must collaborate to ensure that all sides of these important issues are properly addressed.
