Care to drop some input on whether you believe Google is evil or not?

Have you ever wondered whether Google’s mantra “Do no evil” is true or not? Now you can know what the world thinks about this and contribute with your vote to the collective opinion.

Every day, we present you with a selection of news about Google and you can express with a simple vote how your judgment of Google’s goodness or evilness is influenced by each news item.

Evilornot provides a number of stories which readers can then rate. The results will [supposedly] create an image of Google (’Good’ or ‘Evil’).

Does anyone have any privacy concerns regarding Google? While I do use Gmail as my main email account, I am uncomfortable with the idea of ‘personalized search’.

    Do you have privacy concerns? We do not record IP addresses of voters or other identifying information. We just count them.

    Evil. Pure evil, in fact. The day is nearing when people are going to realize that Google is not their fun, fruity, multi-colored internet friend. In years to come, they’re going to morph into the Microsoft of online services. Mark my words; the writing is on the wall.

    I completley agree with Ben.

    They used to be that cool, easy to use search engine. Now they are that money hungrey media pimp. Oh, and if they make an OS, I will shoot myself.
