Notes from a stats browse

In strolling through my referrer log I discovered a SocialRank site that aggregates news from elearning blogs: Learning Signal. Nice! I'm subscribed. Here's how the intriguing new SocialRank site works, from the MindValley Labs blog. Not sure if I'm mischaracterizing it, but it seem a little like a cross between Techmeme and Mahalo? No?

MindValley, parent and incubator of SocialRank, looks like an interesting company. It's located in Kuala Lumpur. Staff is on the young side. It's sad how an old fart like me can resonate with a stirring description of the character of a workforce and company mission, then totally know I'd never fit in when I see a group employee photo.

In a different section of my stats report -- keywords -- I see something that wasn't there last time I studied them. Are hackers or spammers making use of MS Live Search for some nefarious pursuit? I see more Live searches than Google searches recently, and the terms they tend to seek are "account" and "username." What's going on there?
