I found a fun service named Gender Genie which can guess the gender of an author by just using sample paragraphs from the author’s writings. Based on an algorithm by Moshe Koppel and Shlomo Argamon from Illinois Institute of Technology, Gender Genie can quite accurately (albeit sometimes humorously) predict the writers gender solely base on the style of his/her writings.

The downside of this service that I found that it need at least 500 words sample in order to predict gender fairly accurately, a number which is quite impossible to get with a blog entry.

However having said that, Gender Genie is a fun service available on the web which you can try in order to test the ‘masculinity’ (or ‘femininity’) of your blog. You should try it now : The Gender Genine
