Printed Ink app for iPhone and iPad

Most pictures are said to be worth a thousand words. With Printed Ink, you can find and share pictures worth 500 billion words! Printed Ink allows you to view the popularity of anything compared to anything else for the last 500 years!

How? With the help of Google Books, Printed Ink will graph any words or phrases, in a variety of languages, to show how frequently they have appeared in books during the last 500 years.
