Does it suck, or does it rock?

via Phil Bradley's weblog by philipbradley on 18 March

Sucks Rocks is a fun resource - not sure that you can call it a search engine really, but we'll let that pass. Throw it a lot of terms or phrases, and it does some complicated maths based on what it finds and if the results link to specific terms such as X sucks, X is lame or X rocks, X is sweet. I did a fun search to compare search engines to libraries and librarians.

Lots of fun can be had with this. Football teams, universities, counties, states, countries even! Not very serious of course, but it could be a nice resource to use to have as an opening icebreaker slide.

Thanks to AltSearchEngines for bringing this one to my attention.

And thanks to Phil for bringing this to me. Great time-waster!
