GoogleCount


The amount of results that [WWW]Google gives for a certain word or phrase.

GoogleCounts are useful to this project in finding how suitable a proposed name is by judging how commonly used it is now. The more commonly used a proposed name, the less suitable since a) the more likely it is that the name's been adopted by another project b) the less uniquely recognizable the name is.

[Skware] I propose also noting counts for name + blog, name + api to all GoogleCounts to remove unrelated google results. Show GC as GoogleCount: 2million/7000/3000 for example
