The Name is Pentametron. Its short bio reads” With algorithms subtle and discrete / I seek iambic writings to retweet”. Its profile picture features Shakespeare’s face strategically placed within the twitters default egg shaped picture. Pentametron aims finding inadvertent art in the internet’s endless outpouring of language. Pentametron could read millions of tweets per day (about 500 per second!) in search of the tiny fraction that happen to be in iambic pentameter. Out of those, it selects rhymed couplets and retweets them in an endless crowdsourced sonnet.
