From: pat eyler Date: 2006-05-12T00:35:01+09:00 Subject: google trends, bad comparisons, &c James Britt posted a comment[1] about the new google trends tools[2], claiming that people would try to use it for all kinds of bad comparisons (his examples were between Ruby and other programming languages). I can't imagine that anyone would stoop to something like that. On the other hand, I'm worried about Ruby's long term viability, as google shows that its popularity is being threatened by the popularity of eating spiders[3].
