The Guardian recently devoted a 'G2' supplement to the ubiquity of mobile phones (cellphones, for American readers) -- you'll find yourself nodding in shameful self-recognition more than once.
The supplement includes a humorous (and curiously compelling) eavesdropping report.
Reading the latter reminded me of those eavesdropping sites that reveal, often live, what people are typing into search engines.
None of these is as good as Excite's (now sadly defunct) 'Search Voyeur' -- a ticker-style java applet that displayed live search queries. It was wonderful (if pointless) fun; now it's just another of our fickle web's dead links. Boohoo.
