#2Great idea, but show me what in my text is triggering it, and have some "example" buttons.

#3Any 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.

You might like http://nbartlomiej.github.com/lisense/ then.
It my old pet project; like BlaBlaMeter, but for licenses.
I still hope to experiment with the idea of improving licenses in future.

#5Hilarious! I plugged in some paragraphs from press releases and it was spot on. I also appreciated the "or Scientist" part ... simply awesome!
"Bullshit Index :0.64 This reeks. I bet you're a PR-Expert, Politician, Consultant or Scientist. If there is a message, it's unlikely it will reach anyone."

I'd guess so.
Or maybe they compiled a corpus of bullshit text (scientific articles, PR and political texts), created a little statistical model and are using that to check the level of bullshit of your text.

#7I tried with Paul Ryan's speech at the RNC. Here's what it said:
Your text: 15000 characters, 2645 words Bullshit Index :0.13 Your text shows only a few indications of 'bullshit'-English.
Does that mean the algorithms work?

#10My blog posts (http://sveder.com/blog) are between .18-.22 so I feel relieved. Great idea, and like everyone else I'd like to know where I fail too.
