Google Talk

This entry was published at least two years ago (originally posted on August 20, 2004). Since that time the information may have become outdated or my beliefs may have changed (in general, assume a more open and liberal current viewpoint). A fuller disclaimer is available.

A post on MeFi led me to this wonderful little toy: Google Talk.

Use Google talk by entering three or four words below. The system will search for this sentence at Google, find the next word and print that. Than it will remove the first word of the search string, add the found word and repeat. The result seems to be meaningfull sometimes. Other times it is giblish. But always fun.

I’ve been playing with it off and on for a while, and it’s come up with some wonderfully nonsensical stuff. Some sample searches below, with the key words I started with in bold:
