Nooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was going through Abhishek Upadhya's blog (http://nitklogik.blogspot.com/) and there was a post about a site which predicts the gender of the person behind a blog or homepage..

I was warned its pretty new and has a lot of chances to go wrong but hey I was roaming the net like a pack of wild dogs across the Serengeti and decided to give this blog the chance to re-affirm my status as Alpha Male.. Oh my ego! My poor, poor ego!



I am possibly 56% female??? Noooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!! 

But wait, I can test it out on my friends and see if this rubbish is right or not! So here I present my findings on blogs I know:-

Ravi Nigam (Male): 87% Female
Sourabh Dhole (Male): 77% Female
Yatin Kamath (Male): 80% Female
Abhishek Upadhya (Male): 58% Female
Puneet Aggarwal (Male): 56% Female
Kaushik Lakshman (Male): 98% Female
Nikhil Rao (Male): 52% Male
Sougata Khan (Male): 3 blogs with 61% Male, 67% Female and 82% Female
FUFY (Bunch of Males): 52% Female
Akshata Rao (Female): 71% Female
NITK Numbskulls (2 Females): 99% Female
Sudarshna (Female): 95% Female

Some big names:-
Aamir Khan (Male): Blog contains non-english characters (hehe)
Shobhaa De (Female): 56% Female
Amitabh Bacchan (Male): 65% Female
Anna Kournikova (Female): 83% Male
Britney Spears (Female): 56% Female
Kim Kardashian (Female): 66% Female
Donald Trump (Male): 94% Male
Pamela Anderson (Female): 57% Male
Paris Hilton (Female): 81% Male
Rosie O'Donnell (Female): Error Occurred (No wonder she is a lesbian!)
Victoria "posh" Beckham (Female): 61% Female

And some websites themselves:-
Incident website: 94% Male
Engineer Website: Blog contains non-english characters (???)
Google: 100% Female
Yahoo: 55% Female
WWE: 88% Male
NITK website: 64% Male
GenderAnalyzer itself: 66% Female


No wonder that site is still in its primitive stages! So  feel free to explore the gender of other sites like Google or Yahoo but at your own risk:- http://genderanalyzer.com/

The sites pretty lame, The blog posts might have contents directly copied from some arbit site and mostly is wrong too.

Its test data is horribly low just 4000 compare that to the different kinds of bloggers all over the world . It anyways seems to be tilted towards females, they might be trying to proove we all are females :)
and anna is male

Exactly! And guess what? Same posts on blogger and wordpress give a different result.. What about that huh?

Well in that case I think it might be using the template also into consideration which makes it even more lame as 99% ppl don't design their own template.

I agree.. Thats why I wrote this post as part of the Humour label and gave a disclaimer at the end: Only for fun, nothing more..
