The Markov stuff seems like such a poor approach. Though you can get by with it in 140 characters better than other places. Twitter provides a public stream of tweets. Simply pull tweets out of that, if it doesn't contain another users

Is there any value in a sample or boilerplate contracts? I've asked some people in the past and they seem very guarded about sharing theirs and always try to refer me to a lawyer. Good advice and I realize that lawyers should save you
