Sounds about right.

Yesterday Hemant over at Friendly atheist made a post about a website that determines the demographics of any given website based on writing style and such. According to the site, Hemant Mehta's friendlyatheist.com is written by a female ranging in age from 66-100, that is personal and usually upset. Needless to say I was curious about the ISSA website so I decided to run it through. Here are the results:

Text analysis:
uiucatheists.blogspot.com is probably written by a male somewhere between 66-100 years old. The writing style is personal and happy most of the time.

Gender
Age
Mood
Tonality
I think this means we're friendlier than the friendly atheist, right? I wonder why it thinks we're so old though... Probably because we're so wise.

I expect age is calculated based on frequency of the terms "lol", "tl;dr" and "r u srsly?".

Sounds a lot like the Gender Genie, which coincidentally always thinks my writing is by a crotchety old man.

Makes you wonder who it thinks is the woman in this instance...
