#52Any chance of an overview of the algorithm you're using to filter out the text? My thinking is you are measuring word count versus commonly used marketing or political jargon count, but that's probably too simple.
It is that simple. Looks like they assign a BS level to words, and then take some sort of average bullshit level amongst all words. Word order doesn't matter as slashcom says.
For example, if you take the score from the Oracle Pricing blurb posted by BitMistro, and change 'strategies' to 'goals', you drop down to 0.8 or so. If you add an extra random 'strategy' somewhere, it bumps up to 1.4 or something.
I actually suspect a bug on their pair for strategies... probably a decimal error when building to BS level tables.
But similar things happen with other 'bullshity' words, just to a lesser degree.

#53I ran a few Wikipedia articles through it. They unsurprisingly shows little signs of 'bullshit'. I am surprised by the rating for Arch though. It doesn't read like PR/Marketing to me.
Wikipedia Page - Article, Talk:
IBM Watson - 23,20
Ron Paul - 22,11
Slackware - 35,28
SOPA - 34, 18
Arch Linux - 53,18
Witcher 2 - 15,12

#54The main reason I posted was in the hope of triggering discussion over the method used to analyse the text. I've seen users getting a lower score simply by separating out a block of text into numbered paragraphs which would seem to point to quite a simplistic method. http://ipdraughts.wordpress.com/2012/08/25/cutting-down-on-t...
I'd like to use it as a plugin for email, Reddit Enhancement Suite, and other such things of that nature .. ;)

BlaBlaMeter prefers an extra word over a comma. Makes sense given the goal here.

#58I broke it! I got a 0.07 (which is the lowest I've managed to get) with:
"Now, I have to go back to work on my State of the Union speech. And I worked on it until pretty late last night. But I want to say one thing to the American people. I want you to listen to me. I'm going to say this again: I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. I never told anybody to lie, not a single time; never. These allegations are false. And I need to go back to work for the American people. Thank you."
If that wasn't bullshit I don't know what is.

#59Derrida, Chapter 2 'Of Grammatology' >Bullshit Index :0.26 Your text shows some indications of 'bullshit' some indications ... I'd say this thing is broken.
You're just bitter that that era of philosopher in general used an artificially complicated writing style, complete with invented terminology, that borders bullshit :)
I'm just pointing out it is broken.
Finnegan's Wake, Chapter 2, Book 1.
> Bullshit Index :0.11 Your text shows only a few indications of 'bullshit'-English.
definitely broken
Or perhaps it's a feature and it can pick out philosophical / artistic 'bullshit' from PR 'bullshit'.

Maybe this plays a role:
