Googling Around

I search many things on the net. Trying to find a hit for old parts or answers to technical questions from customers often brings up some very strange results. I came across a Ted talk about data visualization which had me thinking. I searched both "i love you' and "i hate you" wide open on the net, just in Canada, just in French-Russian and Arabic. Then added the total hits for each and came up with a percentage of total hits.

wide open on the net

the term "i love you" returns 559,000,000 responses or 92.5%

while "i hate you" finds only 45,300,000 or 7.5%

searching the same in Canada

 "love" gets 3,830,000 hits or 92.09%

"hate" gets 329,000 hits 7.91%

we are pretty average

search in French

"love" 56,000.000 hits or 98.21%

"hate" 1,020,000 hits or 1.79%

oh those French

in Russian

"love" 16,400.000 hits or 78.28%

"hate" 4,550,000 hits or 21.72%

hmmm...

finally in Arabic

"love" 51,000,000 or 99.82%

"hate" 90,800 or 0.18%
