A further update on "I Write Like"

[dameruth]

Hm. Following a tip from wendymr, it now appears that the "I Write Like" site has become a vehicle for scammy advertising. Whether or not that was the original intent of the analyzer's creator is up in the air, but since it's an annoying end result regardless, I'm dropping the linked result tags from my original post, and y'all may want to do the same

Yup. Have dropped links from the places I posted it; you may be correct in wondering if the creator of the original algorithm knew this would happen, but the folks who put it out there? Not so innocent.

[dameruth]

Yeah, whatever the original intent, it's lost its shine now. Although I still like the idea that I write like Bradbury . . . ;)

Heh. Also, icon love!!

[dameruth]

Thanks! Saw it on iconomicon and nearly fell out of my chair laughing. I love that icon site!

Holey moley - I just checked out iconomicon - I think it's the icon dump version of TV Tropes. I may never leave. I may also crash my computer with the number of icons I pick up. Thanks!

[dameruth]

Yeah, iconomicon is amazing. I think I spent a whole evening there when I first found it! Always glad to pass on the addiction.

I kept it to a bare three hours. Heh.
