Wow. I was just thinking of making something like this yesterday. Guess great ideas don't last long. I was also interested in seeing how similar terms of services are. I've been working on a paper studying how boilerplate terms seem to be growing more dense over time, and one of the things I've noticed looking at a lot of TOSes is how similar they all are. For example, there are really only two or three variations on the wordings of choice of law clauses, and almost all arbitration clauses look the same. Wonder if you can run a comparison on your database across various TOSes to see how similar they are (a la turnitin for essays).
I have a striking suspicion that the lawyers (or webmasters) are just copying and pasting a lot of these terms from standard repositories or otherwise from other services.
