While viewing a video of a conference on visualization of information called Many Eyes and the work that IBM Research is doing at the Center for Social Software, I was re-acquainted with Wordle, a creation of a fellow IBMer.
This word cloud in my blog fed into Wordle. Do I really use the work “back” that much? Apparently so.
Wordle – Beautiful Word Clouds
Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.
