Does It Suck, Or Does It Rock?


May, 2007


How it works:

When you enter a search term, sucks/rocks searches the web for several positive and negative phrases using that term. The score is the fraction of positive results to the sum of positive and negative results, normalized to 10.

Type in a search term, e.g. "Chiang Mai" press return and type in another search term (Bangkok), press return to compare the results.

At the moment John Edwards is scoring slightly better than Barack Obama and way ahead of Hillary Clinton.

Jesus scores higher than Mohammed. While Ganesh ties with Jesus, Buddha scores a perfect 10 and Coke beats Pepsi.

This can get addictive.

Cuddling outscores kissing which might indicate that there are more women writing stuff on the web than men. Could be, because if you compare "men" with "women", women outscore men by a respectable margin. But "Ken" beats "Barbie", go figure.
