You know how there are those applications where you load some data and then get a graph or chart as output? How about one where you do the same thing, but get a text article instead? Voila! Robot journalism from data. Have a look at this incredible example. Scroll down in the right pane to get some links to editable demos. This isn't the first such; as Tony Hirst comments, ""Robot Journalism" was thing I spent a fair amount of time tinkering with...
