[WEBSITE] http://www.youkin.org/
New site found from Blog entry

Eva's latest blog points you to the site
http://www.youkin.org/

She has to complete a research project on the company, and it's health suppliment.

The site contains a small amount of info, a video and a chatbot (seems to be based on ALICE http://www.alicebot.org/)

Currently trying to ask it questions about Movies it likes but no luck so far

Ingredients
Not so tasty

I sent this in to Eva, but this is what i've found so far for the ingredient listing.

Aqua : H20, Water. Easy enough.

Azane: H3N. http://www.chemindustry.com/chemicals/449412.html. More commonly referred to as ammonia.

Hydrogenium: H. Hydrogenium (and its derivations in several modern languages) is a combination of the Greek words ΰδωρ [hydōr] = water, and from Greek γεινομαι (geinomai) = to engender, bring forth, (cf. Oxygen, where is made clear that in naming this element, Lavoisier referred to γεινομαι and not to γενναω (gennaō), to produce, as was assumed later). It means "making water". (stolen from: http://elements.vanderkrogt.net/elem/h.html)

Yellow Crystal Sulfur: S. Just a reference to the element Sulfur (or Sulphur if you prefer). In its natural state, Sulfur is a yellow crystal solid.

Marsh extract: God only knows. Most likely a reference to the extract from some type of marsh plant or root.

Yuki the bot keeps asking ME questions, which is a bit annoying. Is this normal behavior for these things?

It also gives the names of famous people to questions like "who makes Youshi" or "who invented Youshi". And the answers change if you repeat the question, so it seems pretty random.

I don't think I like Yuki. Evil or Very Mad

into the chat box and got the following URL

talking with the youshi bot

you can get some interesting answers out of the youshi chatbot, you can ask what youshi is, whats in it, and I asked if it had any friends.

It says it has a botmaster, but I can't get it to tell me who it is.

I can't get it to tell me what Marsh extract is, but Google and wiki turned up a couple interesting results, I think it's reffering to extract of MarshMallow the plant here

The bot also mentioned having some fav celebrities, so I also asked if the bot had ever met Melvin Geist. the response was 'I have never met Melvin Geist, but I would love to! ' I tried a couple random names, but only get that kind of reply by his name.

"do you know Eva?" gets "I can not talk about Eva Mcgill. "

Just a generic thing that appears in the source code whenever you have a Flash on the page.

But I like kloos :'(

In related news, this site is weird XD

Edit- Could input1 be talking about Eva? Seeing as the number is her birthday and all. The 'Digital Scarring' could be referring to her damaged foot. If so then poor Eva Sad If this is right then she's got nanomachines or something similar in her.

talking to the chatbot...

I just asked "Why can't you talk about Eva McGill?" a bunch of times and I got a number of different responses. But has anyone else seen this one:

" Because you asked me to -- SHRDLHU. "

Who is Eva?

A 20th century celebrity of some sort?
Perhaps I'm just expressing my own concern about it.

Who is Melvin Geist?

I LOVE Melvin Geist, he is like a God to us at Youkin!!

Who invented Youshi?

Thomas Edison Confused

After a few random questions I got:

A human icon?
I will mention that to my botmaster, .
Is that from WIZARD OF OZ?

If you ask the youshibot 'What movies is melvin gesit in?' it dodges the question, responding with things like 'thats a good question' and almost always has 'what was the last one you saw?' as a counter question.

What is Youkin?
Youkin is a company that makes GREATproducts, such as Youshi drinks and lozenges!

What is Youshi?
Youshi is a GREAT tasting food supplement so natural it has been invented by bacteria!

Is the Wizard of Oz a good movie?
If it is, then I'll be very surprised.
