I wonder if it becomes less or more useful over time, and whether data should be expired at some point. Nice job!

I had forgotten about yours--I wasn't trying to exclude anybody, especially since I was fairly sure that this wasn't exactly an original idea. I was just feeling impressed with myself for figuring out a way to do it without any actual coding skills (thanks, World Wide Web!). Anyway, thanks for reminding me about other efforts of this sort. They are fascinating--the hits, the misses, the different kinds of searches done by different libraries and communities. Doh!

It's still collecting live data--you can see it <a href="http://www.aadl.org/searchcloud/" rel="nofollow">here</a>. You'll notice that it needs some work, but the results are intriguing. A mouse-over will show you how many times a term was searched. As the numbers get large things start to flatten out because it really represents the spike on the long tail.
