Maybe The Web’s Not As Lusty A Place As You Thought After All

July 3rd, 2007

I would have predicted greed to finish higher, too.

BlogPulse, a service of Nielsen BuzzMetrics, enables you to, well, I’ll let them explain it: “to create your own graphs that plot ‘buzz’ about specific search terms (issues, people, companies, brands, sports, etc.) in the blogosphere.”

One of the example trend graphs they provide is this one, mapping the buzz about the seven deadly sins. I’m not surprised that gluttony and sloth fall to the bottom of the chart, but wouldn’t you have expected lust to overtake pride, and maybe even anger?
