Automated Content Generation

[Andy]

Is it possible to algorithmically generate web page content that reads ok?

Don't know if this is along the lines of what you are asking, but I suppose it could be done in a , for lack of a better term, madlibs style. There is a small javascript program on my old portal http://menardsportal.atspace.com/index.html where it prompts one to click for advice from zen the zebra. The result follows grammatical structure, though the actual answer is random and seems like something Confucius might say.

I guess someone could put together a more advanced script to write to a page that has a larger database from which to pull words, have larger blocks of words formed, and even have rules that allow or disallow certain combinations; though it may be grammatically correct, it will still probably just be nonsense though.

I guess the "ask a question" kind of script may work ok.

p.s. the link to your site didn't work.

Dangit; I didn't think about that. That page is on a free host and I'll bet they have Asian countries blocked.

The script to which I was referring, if you want to see a demo, can be found here: http://www.acejs.com/scriptsfolder/119001/119001.html

Sorry about that.

Thanks, I just tried it out. Some weird phrases but they read like proper English.
