This is kind of awesome and useless. I'm genuinely pretty charmed by the fact that there's pretty much no actual gamification involved, that there's no real way to interact with other users, and that it's completely unclear why constructing and reading Markov-generated celebrity tweets is supposed to be entertaining.
