    This is why I spend 3 hours browsing every time I visit Wikipedia.

    I’m not sure… it’s rare, but I think “What you’re looking for” is a set with some (very very small) intersection with “What you find” (what would you call that intersection though? I remember heare a “curse” in some novel: “may you one day find exactly what you are looking for”).
    This picture makes them look mutually exclusive.

    As in:

    I’d like to find a Cabinet Nominee
    and I find the people in Government that don’t pay their taxes.

    Thanks Jess!

    Surprises are most of life…

    This is kind of how I feel as I try to write this paper on Jesus, the church, and consumerism: The deeper I dig, the more I find, the more the focus of the paper changes… now to try to say something coherent in only 5,000 words!(from the indexed blog…

    I definitely agree that “What you’re looking for” shouldn’t be wholly included in “What you find”.

    Man, if only!

    Seems to me this one would be better as a Venn diagram with circles labeled the same as the pieces of the pie chart.
    I do like the effectively neutral connotation you can draw from this one, though.

    I love this! So true and so beautiful! Oops, Keats said that already. I think of it as a prayer, changing it to “What I asked for” and “What I was given”. True, there is not a lot of overlap, but that hardly matters.

    This is somewhat linked to Serendipity (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serendipity).

    Isn’t it great when what you find is better than what you were looking for!

    This graph makes me very, very happy.

    How optimistic that what you are looking for is at the top of the circle!

    Have been enjoying indexed for a long time now but don’t know many other people who read. So was surprised to see this card published in an otherwise very dull Market Research Society conference paper (Co-Creating Insights: Challenging the way we get to insights by adopting a more collaborative approach to research)!
