When I was at Google Mountain View in 2009, they had a TV scrolling through current search terms.. Some of them were hilarious...

Oh nice... but it wasn't that in 2009.. and there were some potentially embarrassing search terms display, scrolling past.. but sure, it was probably filtered at some point.

It used to be a slightly different app on a different link, but that's gone now; this one is the replacement (and what the reception displays now use).

Kind of curious about the pornographic search terms : innocuous search terms ratio now...
