Akinator The Web Genius Will Mess With Yr Head
Barmymoo:
I think it says quite a lot about the person who must have programmed it. Perhaps we could make our own game of "guess who the programmer is" from what he/she knows about and where he/she must be from (seems like it's pretty much certain to be the USA somewhere).
Zingoleb:
Well, yeah, but then if it doesn't know a person, then you're expected to add that person to the database. So...
Damnable Fiend:
you learn something about people in general by looking at how many times someone has been guessed, I suppose
also it got Turin Turambar on the first try. cool. or, at least, geeky.
and Cimorene from some kids books I used to read. fuck this thing is addictive.
eventually it got Daniel Waterhouse (Neal Stephenson character)
pwhodges:
But the sequence of questions and how the answers modify it come from the programmer; and that's where the weaknesses show.

There's versions for other countries, hence the "us" at the start of the URL. A lot of people seem to be tripping it up with very UK-centric celebrity types so maybe try the uk.akinator.com website and see if there's a noticeable difference.
