Hi Peter,

Thank you for taking a personal interest in me (although I believe the topic of conversation is the Wordpress Foundation, The Wordpress Helpers, Automattic - and by extension its CEO). We put up a free article spinner many years ago to save people from being scammed into paying for much worse solutions when content repurposing was all the rage. People seem to like it so we leave it there for them to use, although it's been a very long time since we've used it internally.

Another one of our free tools which really seems to help people and would probably be of more interest to you is our online Pandoc translation tool. If you are not familiar with Pandoc, it allows you to convert html to Textile to Markdown to Latex among other formats. As we were big Basecamp users before switching to Teamwork, we were doing a lot of Textile to Markdown conversion for awhile.

I hope our Pandoc Online will make your online life as a writer easier too!
