{IWL menu bar}

On the second day of its existence of "I Write Like" was visited by 12,000 people. On the third day of its existence - a hundred thousand. New tweets mentioning IWL appear about every five seconds, Facebook is buzzing, badges appear on blogs every minute.

In short, "I Write Like" compares your writing to those of famous ones. The first paragraph of this post resulted in:

I write like
Cory Doctorow

I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software.

"I Write Like" was mentioned by Margaret Atwood, who her self is in the IWL's database. (However, it turned out that she writes as Stephen King, not as Margaret Atwood 🙂

William Gibson (author of "Johnny Mnemonic") also wrote about IWL (though, none of his answers is in the database yet :).

In short, the author is very flattered.
