I'm not exactly convinced. I think the idea isn't bad though. It's probably better executed with a site like This digital security site.

Looks pretty shoddy to me:

Nintendo the worst company in the entire world, at 5819 behind tobacco (Imperial Tobacco is #456, defence company BAe at #756 etc)?

Patriotism a key measure of reputation – that’s madness to my eyes. I can’t imagine a non-American even considering that as important

Very limited list of companies (I was looking for video games companies. Activision isn’t there (it’s bigger than Electronic Arts) not Take Two, THQ etc.

I was interested but having looked at it, it seems that the data set is limited and flawed and the service seems, frankly, pointless

Considering all of the various inputs of the index, the ranking system cannot be deemed as 100 percent authoritative

Thanks for the caveat. Looks like we’ll have to wait a little longer to figure out who the best company is.
