YouTube changed the way they deliver non-flash videos, and today Cathodique and other YouTube-related programs failed to load them. We fixed this issue in 1.3. If the automatic updater didn’t pick it up, click Cathodique > Check for Updates….
For now, we forced SD for all videos until we figure out how to load HD. Then we’ll post an updated version.

What a milestone! I Write Like has been visited by 100,000 people yesterday. New tweets mentioning IWL are appearing every five seconds or so. Facebook is on fire, and “I write like” badges are appearing in blogs every minute. Margaret Atwood, who is in our database of famous writers, tweeted about it (apparently, she doesn’t write like herself… oops :). We’ll make sure to train the database with more of her works).
I’m honored by your interest and support. Have fun and stay tuned for more!

I did a couple of searches on Twitter, Facebook, and Google to find out what results people are getting from I Write Like and collected a few gems:
“I just spent about 15 minutes messing around with this. Very neat. I then made the unfortunate decision to show it to my girlfriend, who is now angry at me that it said she writes like Dan Brown.” (source)
“Oh my goodness. I write like Dan Brown. http://iwl.me/b/cfe99843 Lol, and I pasted a part of my thesis. This is not good, is it?” (source)
“According to the meme that’s going around the interwebs, I write (prose) like Margaret Atwood. I was terrified it would say Dan Brown and I’d have to give up writing!” (source)
“I analyzed the WIP and the New Shiny, and learned that I write like Stephen King. Now if only I could earn like him… laughs” (source)
“I write like Stephen King. Proof: http://iwl.me/s/b3a26720 Now if I can sell as many books, then I’ll be happy.” (source)
“LOL! I just did this too. Posted the resignation I gave to my last job and got Isaac Asamov in return after running through a whole bunch of others with different pieces of different fics!” (source)
Apparently my writing is like Isaac Asimov. Interesting http://iwl.me/ I feed in the intro paragraphs of my Med104 A2. Must mean I write fiction. (source)
According to http://iwl.me/ , my fiction and non-fiction writing most resembles Kurt Vonnegut. Except when I’m writing about important social issues. Then, consistently, I come across as Douglas Adams. I think I understand why I’m not taken seriously any longer. (source)
“The first rule is: no-one talks about my writing” [badge: I write like Chuck Palahniuk] “The second rule is… no-one talks about my writing.” (source)
“Kevin Lovelace “Depending on what I feed it, I keep getting Chuck or Margaret Atwood as an answer. chuck more often. Though that would be a HELL of a cover blurb: “Schmidt writes like a combination of Chuck Palahuniuk and Margaret Atwood!” — Neil Gaiman” (source)
“http://iwl.me/ Got a couple Dan Browns, but other than that I’m in good company. When I use profanity, I get at least a Chuck Palahniuk.” (source)
— I Write Like Mark Twain
— So, are you running away to the mighty Mississippi any time soon, Huck?
— Nah! Rumors of my impending literary career are greatly exaggerated!
(source)
“so…my most recent writing came up as Dan Brown. However, anything that I wrote with Parker Saulli came up with JK Rowling. I blame you, Parker. I BLAME YOU.” (source)
Thanks for all the feedback so far. Keep having fun!
