Google as Social Barometer?

January 8, 2004 12:56 PM posted by eris : track it (0)

Being in a job where I am online a lot and doing the occasional image search, I sometimes browse Google's image search engine. Last week I typed in the phrase "feminism" and the images that Google spat back out at me were interesting and, in some cases, quite amazing.

This is a simple topic, really. If you were to go through Google's image search for "feminism", what three images do you most agree with and what three images do you wish would never be cached again? From the general images that Google displays when searching for "feminism", do you feel that this is a good or bad social barometer (since all Google really does is index the content of the people) in showcasing feminist ideas?
