Just some simple name + word searches in Google. Some surprising things.

1. meh

Arbitrary keywords with no real relevance.

4. Words

Google is based on having arbitrary words produce meaning for someone. Sure you can call them "Just Words" and truthfully they may not mean much. It's just something brought by boredom, and even as random associations the differences between candidates can be interesting.

[blogslut]

6. It is interesting

Except that words like "good" and "evil" and "leader" are too common. What I would do is make searches like this:

"Barack Obama", "good leader"

"Hillary Clinton", "good leader"

"John McCain", "good leader"

[parasim]

8. Right, but if McCain scored high on that one...

it'd probably be because a ton of people could be saying, "John McCain would not make a good leader."

Googlefights are silly, but certainly can be a good time-waster.

10. I dig it

I loves me some keywords and search terms. Tis fun to play. :)

2. Googlebots

3. kitfalbo+freeper = 1,365,240

wow.

[kitfalbo]

7. Lazyness

I actually had to look up what freeper meant. Eh, I find it interesting you instantly take this as a conservative attack rather than random boredom. Maybe you should look at the few posts/reply's I have made unless you're a freeper in disguise?

13. ...

To think I took you seriously and actually checked.

I gotta stop taking people at face value here. So much garbage.

:rofl:

9. Different results

Can you explain what those results indicate? It must be extremely difficult to analyze the results.

I entered Racist "Hillary Clinton" and got 1,560,000 hits.
I entered Racist "Barack Obama" and got 1,610,000 hits.

I guess the difference is that I put the candidates' names in quotes. But I'm still not sure what any of it means...

[Hawkeye-X]

11. Rickroll.

So I'm bored....

"Barack Obama" + rickroll = 33,000
"Hillary Clinton" + rickroll = 28,500
"John McCain" + rickroll = 3,710

[DaveJ]

12. These results are interesting...

Black Hillary Clinton gets 1,740,000 hits.
Black Barack Obama gets 1,560,000 hits.

Female Barack Obama gets 554,000 hits.
Female Hillary Clinton gets 518,000 hits.


Now I'm REALLY confused.
