Craigslist personals haven't been the same since the spambots and professional escorts moved in, but now there's Collective Love, a service that can help us remember the site's glorious, incomprehensibly written past.
Once users enter their location info, Collective Love uses a Markov chain algorithm to generate text from local personal ads seeking casual sex. More often than not, this results in total gibberish, which isn't out of character for the kind of desperation one often saw on the Craigslist of yore.
