Title: New blog in town
Post by: MU Chi_IL on November 12, 2010, 10:59:06 AM
Came across this article today about a new service (http://techcrunch.com/2010/11/12/automated-news-sports-statsheet/)

QuoteA startup in North Carolina, StatSheet, today is launching a remarkable network of 345 sports sites, one dedicated to each Division 1 college basketball tam in the U.S. For instance, there is a site for the Michigan State Spartans, North Carolina Tar Heels, and Ohio Buckeyes. Every story on each site was written by a robot, or to put it more precisely, by StatSheet's content algorithms. "The posts are completely auto-generated," says founder Robbie Allen. "The only human involvement is with creating the algorithms that generate the posts."

Here is the Marquette site

The posts read even better when you imagine a slight hiccup before each name or stat just like video game commentary. 

I think Rosiak has been put on notice.
