[NetBehaviour] A Google Chrome extension

[dave miller]

Hi Pall and Bjorn

Have you seen this from Nick Montfort and Amanda Borsuk (2013):
http://thedeletionist.com/about.html

The Deletionist is a concise system for automatically producing an erasure
poem from any Web page. It systematically removes text to uncover poems,
discovering a network of poems called “the Worl” within the World Wide Web.

Also - bit of a different approach - translating web pages into slang:
http://www.rinkworks.com/dialect/

The idea of filtering the news using a browser is interesting, as the news
we receive is filtered anyway.

How did you make the Google Chrome extension?
