This site analyzes blog posts and tries to figure out the age and gender of the person writing. It wasn't very accurate for me, but was kind of cool. The gist of the methodology is the correlative method, they collected large text samples and sliced them in various ways, then check how much a blog conforms to the stored data.
Last thing, I know this doesn't have anything to do with English, but I think it's cool, and I can post what I want here.
haha so i did that analyzer thing. it said i was male between 66-100 years of age. but it did say i was probably an upbeat happy person. so half right isn't bad. =] how did you find that website anyways?
ReplyDeleteIt was on another blog I read, Friendly Atheist.
ReplyDeleteIt said I was a female between 26 and 35 the first time, now it says male of the same age...
