I find this incredibly fascinating. I wonder over time, if they can get this to become more accurate or will the style we talk just blend more and more, causing the accuracy to drop?

Seventy-five percent womanly, my blog. (I am a man.)

I was literally astounded to see that GenderAnalyzer was 67% certain that it was written by a man. One of my most frequent comments back in my old LJ days from new(er) readers was that they were certain it was written by a woman (a shockingly foul-mouthed woman, but a woman, nevertheless). I guess I don't write about "Sex And The City" so alarmingly frequently anymore to skew the findings. Anyway, though, I loved this piece, because so often we stumble across internet memes / quizzes / machines and think very little of the amount of work, research, and knowledge that goes into their building. Fortunately we have people like you, however, to unearth the truly interesting story of Kågström's creation of GenderAnalyzer. Brava! OMG, Atherton Bartelbys last blog post: Eyes Wide Open

Wrt Pageviews vs. respect. Hmmm apparently nuthin' but it seems ... you can cut a lot of slack with a nice yack. Me, I look like a pig but write like a dove. OMG, FelipeAzucaress last blog post:

I find that when I am on the internet I prefer all things “men” and I am a man.

Thanks for the update, Jon. It’s a worthwhile experiment and I’m not only speaking for myself when I say we look forward to seeing GenderAnalyzer improve!

Do keep me posted, I would love to update this piece as the Analyzer evolves.

I love that you picked up on this! Winterson crossed my mind her share of times as I was developing this piece.

Yep, it thinks I have a willy too (but only a wee one, at 57% XY). Is it cos I swear, or use subordinate clauses?
