Get a google poem
Filed Under Poegles | Leave a Comment
This site lets you generate a google poem automatically using a handful of functions. You can even generate them into forms like sonnets or pantoums.
“The Google poem generator uses a standard server-side component to get the desired Google pages in the background. The pages are then parsed according to pre- and user-defined parameters. The techniques involved include Microsoft IIS5 web server and Active Server Page 3.0 scripting engine with VBScript. Please note that the parsing is based on knowledge about the present Google html, so if they change their presentation logic, the generator is bound to produce ‘unpredictable results’ ;-).”
The site seems to be abandoned, but the tools still work- poeglers will enjoy giving it a go. There are some collected examples, including this one, which I enjoy:
