I clicked through like 15 of these and they were all pretty nonsensical. Not sure if this is more damning of tweets from VC's or the bot itself...

Haha I'm sure it's somewhere in the middle. Never said it was the smartest algorithm. If you hover over the VC's name, it'll show the actual tweet that was sampled.
You wouldn't happen to be from the La Cañada area of SoCal would you?
Born and raised!
I’m pretty sure I used to see a physical therapist as a kid who knew you well. She knew I was building websites and told me about you and what you were working on. If I remember correctly you used to be quite stoked about Coldfusion. What a small world!
Jane?! That is a small world and a great memory! I used to be a huge ColdFusion fan.
Feature request: highlight the sampled text in the generated tweet when you hover over each source? Seems like you're 90% there
Agreed - nonsense. It appears to just be copying segments of tweets and matching words to join the phrases at that word.
Eh, could be Markov chains or some similar-but-unique implementation with a little more logic.
It's damning of VC's. Most VC tweets pretty much look like that.
