A Markov Tweet Generator can be used to randomly generate (somewhat) realistic sentences, using words from a source text (like someone's tweet history). Words are joined together in sequence, with each new word being selected based on how often it follows the previous word in the source document. The results are often just nonsense, but at times can be strangely poetic.
