---- AOL "Angry & Upset" After Releasing Search Data

AOL on Monday said it released a small portion of keyword search information for about 658,000 anonymous AOL users in a move that ignited a firestorm of criticism on the Internet amid calls for tighter protection of the privacy of users' Web searches.

The Internet division of media conglomerate Time Warner Inc. released search information on about 20 million searches done from its AOL software over a three-month period.

The data was released about 10 days ago on its own publicly accessible research Web site, but it escaped notice until this weekend.
