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

Thanks for the heads-up, hon! I think I'll take it down from my LJ, too

Fortunately the same lines of communication that helped spread the word about the site in the first place still work for passing along updates like this. :)

:D Got it from jackshoegazer over at his inimitable iconomicon. I just went over there and found this new one (*points*), and I always despair of my userpics limits when I browse his work.

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!!

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