Perusing blogexplosion (instead of studying, shame on me) I found a link to the Gender Genie. Basically you paste some text into the square and based on some mysterious algorithms it will predict whether the writer is of the female or male persuasion. And when you see which words they use to calculate the gender, well its not as obvious as you would think...they aren't looking for stuff like "oh my god...so totally cute" or "dude, what the hell, she was smoking hot" or whatever.
Speaking of blogexplosion, I got my first rating. It was a 2 (out of ten). Now I am the "ugly girl at the junior high dance, standing in the corner with my cup of punch" of blogs. I actually don't mind the low rating, but it does kind of bother me that I don't know WHY I got the low rating. Is it because my layout sucks? Is it because somebody thought the content sucked? Is it because I don't write about kids or politics or debate religious philosophies? Or maybe because I'm not a paid-escort with a drug problem? Who knows? Ratings are useless without feedback. If I went into work for my evaluation and they said "You suck, you need to improve" but didn't tell me what I needed to improve on...well that would be pointless. So to sum up...if somebody actually takes the time to rate this waste of cyberspace (assuming you aren't just waiting your 30 seconds to go on to the next page), let me know why I suck, not just that I suck. Thanks. And if you are a regular non-blogexplosion reader, well then you probably already know I suck but keep coming back anyway...so CHEERS!!!
