Here’s something kind of cool

August 3rd, 2000

Here’s something kind of cool from Bernardo*: NewsBlogger allows you to combine news feeds from Moreover (a free news feed provider) with Blogger. Now you can filter news feeds via NewsBlogger and have them posted to your blog page. Too much work for me, but I know some bloggers with too much time on their hands will dig this.
* Bernardo’s Brazilian, and I have no idea what his Portugese-language blog is all about. I tried running it through Babelfish, but the output is cryptic in a funny way.
I love fun with machine translation. I took the first two paragraphs of this blog and ran it through several translations on BabelFish (English to French to English to German to English to Italian to English to Portugese to English to Spanish to English…whew). Here’s the results:

Here something of pleasant with expenses of Bernardine *: active NewsBlogger which also they finish to assemble it to fill with the messages of except (of the free messages threw of servicer), a Blogger. Hour that you can filter to fill with the messages in NewsBlogger and to the left he your pagination to announce of blog. Too much work for me, but me the white man who ingualmente of some bloggers to much hour in its hands excavates this
* brasilen@o of Bernardine and I does not have an idea in, of that relative of blog all the language of Portugese that is. I tried when eseguir it of Babelfish but the escape is hidden of an allegro in the way.

It’s amazing that “Too much work for me” came through unscathed, but look at the crazy phrase that follows it — “me the white man”!!! Holy crap! That creeped in during the German to English translation. The conjugated German verb for “to know” in a conjugated form is “weiß”, but somehow that got translated back into English as “white”. And after it went through Italian, it somehow picked up the “man”. Wild.
