Wikipedia Releases Search Data To Public But Pulls It After Privacy Concerns
http://j.mp/UliCVF (Search Engine Land)
Wikipieda announced they have decided to give away their search data
to the public for free. Yea, they would just give away search data to
anyone would wanted to download it. Shortly after they announced this,
they decided to "temporarily taken down this data to make additional
improvements to the anonymization protocol related to the search
queries."

I am increasingly unimpressed with Wikipedia's "management" -- why the
hell didn't they think this through before the initial data release?
