Gender

[flexibeast]

According to the Gender Genie, this blog entry of mine (the most recent to contain only my own writing) suggests that i'm female (Female Score: 996, Male Score: 699). Which is interesting, because several people have told me that they get that impression from my writing, despite me feeling that i probably sound male (and even though i don't make any particular effort to 'gender' my writing either way). But in any case, i haven't yet had a look at the theory underlying this little gadget, so i'm yet not putting much store in it beyond thinking "Heh". :-)

Not so far as I'm aware last I checked. It does have a "was I right?" clicky, but so far as I can tell it doesn't use that information to construct different corpora to learn better over time.
