It's a fun way to show off the accuracy of our data," Hunch co-founder Chris Dixon told CNET about the Twitter Predictor, a new tool that takes a look at your Twitter network in an attempt to figure out as much as it can about you.

Many of those who tried it out and, in turn, tweeted about it, had a similar reaction: It's scarily accurate.
