User-Friendly Blog Software

Here at Compendium Blogware we are constantly searching for new ways to help our customers come up with ideas for new blog content. What if we could come up with technology that could just write their posts for them?

I've been experimenting with using markov chain software to create brand new posts based on existing content. I fed it everything written by Senior Software Engineer and prolific blogger, PJ Hinton, and the resulting Robo-PJ had a lot of very interesting things to say.

He provides some unusual advice for blogging companies:

The truth is, I'm pretty skeptical about some of Robo-PJ's sage wisdom:
