Idea:
Create a program that generate a random Exquisite Corpse, crawling personal (maybe other theme) blogs in the web.
The program will allow users to selected the first word of the Exquisite Corpse and based on that word the program will crawl blogs that contain that word and extract the following 12 words.
The last word that was extracted will be save as the following word to crawl in the next blog in the queue of blogs to visited ( need to define how this list will be created - for now it will be just a list of selected blogs).
This way the program will try to re-create the logic behind the Exquisite Corpse, where several persons create collectively a text where the next person playing have to start to write a phrase with the last word written by the previous person.
Work Plan:
1. Find and create a list of blogs ( not using the crawl for now)
It's was funny and stupid at the same time trying to find "personal blogs" or more personal content in the web. When I noticed I was goggling " My life is a mess" and
"she broke up with me". I also try to goggle " I can't believe she blogged that" that someone wrote in the Draw Installation at Eyebeam on Saturday and that I loved but the results weren't valid. This is the list I'll be using:
1. http://shomernegiah.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default
2. http://mylife27.wordpress.com/feed/
3. http://tiffanireilly.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default
4. http://beingelim.blogspot.com/
5. http://www.swerdloff.com/personal/index.xml
6. http://dreamsofazaro.com/?feed=rss
2. Create a " fake process" to see how the program could result. Shiffman asked me to do this process in order to help me understand better how can the program could be "design" and the steps I'll need to implement.
I made this scheme -- take a look or download the pdf ( better resolution)
3. Analise the results of the previous step
4. Write the program !!
