Online Editing Technology

I must admit, I am a huge fan of StumbleUpon (www.stumbleupon.com). It's probably my #1 tool that I use for procrastination. Well, last night while I was doing my infamous "stumbling" on the Internet, I ran across a website that relates to this blog. The website is called AutoCrit Editing Wizard (http://www.autocrit.com/wizardformpage.php). Although this site is directed towards book editing, it could be useful for any kind of editing including articles, essays, and write-ups. It will give feedback and errors, overused words, sentence variation, and many other aspects. This software isn't recommended for use of editing any other writing except books. However, there are editing softwares out there for a variety of writing genres. Will this take away jobs as editors? I don't think so. There is no way that electronic editing could ever be the same as in-person editing. The writer wouldn't get as much feedback on content that they would like. Sure this software could improve the surface of one's work, but how could it analyze the meaning or how the audience would read it? As of right now, it couldn't. However, modern technology is improving rapidly and no one knows how sophisticated these softwares could become.
