Rating Sites
Site Advisor, a new online service currently in beta, ranks websites based on whether they belong to the Evil Internet or to the light side of the Force.
After installing an Internet Explorer plug-in or a Firefox extension, the Site Advisor ranking shows up when you search on Google, MSN or Yahoo.
Sites get a green checkmark if they are very very good or a red x when they are rotten. You can mouse over the icons to get more information about exactly why the site got the rating it did.
I searched on Google for spyware. Site Advisor revealed that a lot of the sponsored links were for sites that promoted dubious programs or actually installed spyware.
I was happy to learn that Trigger Magazine has a happy green checkmark.
