Google: good or evil?

The image shows how the perception that google is evil went up right when Google launched its IPO.

I find the analysis of memes used at Realmeme interesting. A few years ago I wrote some programs that used the Google API to calculate popularity between memes, but it hadn’t occurred to me to plot it over time. I’ll see if it can be done, and in whatever time I have left I promise to spruce up the program and make it available to anyone interested.
