EFF: No Broadcast Flag No Watermarks

What gender is your blog?

Newsvine sometimes turns up little gems of sites. Today, it provided for my delectation an online utility simply named The Gender Genie. What it does is something quite remarkable - it uses established algorithm to determine the gender of your writing. Of course, your mileage may vary, and it's far from perfect, but it detected my gender perfectly. I used a recent blog post of mine as the sample text to test - this one, in fact. My results came back as follows:

Words: 676
(NOTE: The genie works best on texts of more than 500 words.)

Female Score: 557
Male Score: 1044

The Gender Genie thinks the author of this passage is: male!


How glad am I! There's also a PDF describing the algorithm behind the site on the results page (just submit some text to see it).

So go test yourself: hit up The Gender Genie and see what it says about you!
