      <![CDATA[<p><b><i><font color="#FF0000">DISCLOSURE: This post is part of my sponsorship
arrangement with Marqui. I am being paid US$800 per month for 3 months, to post once a week about Marqui.</font></i></b></p>

<p>It's that time of the week again, when I give my thanks to <a href="http://www.marqui.com/">Marqui</a> for sponsoring my blog for 3 months. Thanks! Anyway I thought I'd have a little fun with it this week and continue with the cut-up/remix theme I experimented with yesterday. I did a cut-up of recent Marqui coverage on blogs, using this method:</p>

<p>1) I'm subscribed to a <a href="http://www.pubsub.com/">PubSub</a> search for the word "marqui". Using my Bloglines aggregator, I requested the last 48 hours worth of results from that feed (about 7,300 words). <br />
2) I then ran it through the <a href="http://web.ukonline.co.uk/gary.leeming/burroughs/cutup_machine.htm">Grazulis Cut-up Machine</a> 10 times, using the "random" setting.<br />
3) Lastly, I condensed it to 100 words using Microsoft Word's nifty AutoSummarize feature.</p>

<p>The result was this, which came out rather poetic...</p>

<p>p.s. I think this 'blog for dollars' program is working out very well for Marqui, no matter what the bloggers <i>actually write</i>. Which is to say - the coverage Marqui is getting from this program is more important to its success than the words being written about them.</p>]]>
