Who's More Googly?

Ever want to see - in a kind of funny and visually instinctive way - which of two search terms produces more results on Google? If you said yes, you're in luck.

Check out Googlefight.

It's nothing you can't do yourself with a couple more clicks on Google. And all they're really adding is a novelty stick-man animation and pretty mediocre bar chart. Still, it kept me hooked for more than 10 minutes. For your information (according solely to GoogleFight):

Canada beats porn
Microsoft beats IBM
Britney Spears beats Madonna
Stephen Harper beats Peter Mackay
Google.com (handily) beats MySpace.com
MySpace.com beats Yahoo.com
Molson beats Labatt
Divorce beats (by a factor of 5) gay marriage
Enron beat Worldcom
Michael Ignatieff beat Bob Rae
Sheila Copps beats Carolyn Parrish
And thankfully (wife and in-laws take note:)...Toronto beats Montreal

Incidentally, you can see very similar results at Google's official search hit comparison tool, Google Trends.

Next I'll be exploring the immense entertainment value of the "heads or tails" feature of common currency. Will the common penny be as accurate as the now extinct American $2.00 bill?
