“Google: Evil or Not?” is my first Rails webapp and I’ve just made it  
public at [http://evilornot.info](http://evilornot.info)

Do you still believe the ?Do no evil? Google mantra? Do you think  
Google Book Search, the AOL deal, and Larry and Sergey?s 767 point to  
Google losing it?s pristine morality and turning over to the dark side?

Now you can discover what the world thinks and contribute your own  
opinion. Head over to Google: Evil or Not? and vote with your mouse.  
Every day, the site presents you with a selection of relevant news  
snippets and, for each one of them, you can select the level of  
Google evilness, or lack thereof, that is suggested by it. Let the  
collective wisdom of the Web decide whether Google is evil or not!

P.S.: Thanks to the folks at Planet Argon for helping me set it up.

Ugo,

I’ve followed A LOT of your work with the Apache Cocoon project over the  
past couple of years. It’s good to see you over here. The site looks  
great, and I’m very much looking forward to having your input on this  
forum.
