The Longest Poem in the World

[diN0bot]

beautiful merging of "machine" and "human." the lines themselves are quite emotive: i hadn't read 'normal/banal' tweets before and they're quite expressive. the algorithm that selects rhymes either happened to be doing great as i watched, or actually takes into account syllables and removes spam and urls.

edit: here's an example (4 consecutive lines chosen because they convey a strange meaning):

> Don't you hate it when you call someone back and they don't answer!

> RIP Dominick Dunne and Ted Kennedy. Damn you, cancer.

> Furthermore, it feeds on other animals and eggs. THIS IS MADNESS!!

> Somewhere between a lot of happiness and sadness.

It's cool. Like an ode to banality.

Banality is the root of all art. I think the idea of a poem written by the entire planet* is rather romantic myself.

*kind of

I like how it detects rhymes. I've never looked into that but it sounds non-trivial (unless you just have a map).

[Frocer]

Ya, could someone explain how this algorithm works?

[chrischen]

I have a syllable counter, we should merge it!

[Banzai10]

That was cool, maybe if you try to add another kind of rhymes it would be cool also.

[nathanb]

Yeah, or maybe only choose lines that are in iambic pentameter.

My favorite rhyme:

"Sex and the City ruined women for me. wtching coffee prince and lovin it =D"

[timdorr]

This was my fave:

  it's just me and the keyboard tonight...
  Then I think of you and it's alright.

two separate lines, as in you read the "dee" out loud?
