the gender genie can, using

the gender genie can, using highly complicated algorithms, determine if the author of a certain passage is male or female.

by the look of the feedback graph, it is more often inaccurate.

i threw at it a handful of my posts here, and the only one that identified me as a female is the last one: "my mom is cooler than your mom." highly accurate.

so i tried a few other sites, using the five most recent posts (within reason - if the post was solely quoting someone else, i skipped it):

• steve at thats my blog: girl (5/5 - all wrong)
• damon at synaptic waste: girl (5/5 - wrong again)
• jr at ink stained banana: girl (5/5 - still wrong)
• jane at escribitionist: girl (3/5 - barely right)
• anna at little red boat: boy (3/5 - barely wrong)
• april at the nut house: girl (5/5 - the only one completely right)

im not too impressed at its skillz, but its pretty fun.
