A Virtual Carnival Game: TweetGenie Uses Your Tweets To Guess Your Age And Gender
A newly-developed Dutch program called TweetGenie has adapted the age-old (so to speak) carnival game of guessing a contestant’s height, weight, or birthday to the digital age.
TweetGenie can guess any Twitter user’s age and gender based solely on tweets, without a name or photo.
The program, currently available only to Dutch Twitter users, analyzes data from the contents of a user’s last 200 tweets.
Then, using its database with lists of words and sequences gathered from almost 3,000 Twitter users, TweetGenie cross-references the content of the specific user’s tweets to determine his or her age and gender.
