So I was just recently turned to on a funny little web app called
Wordle. Wordle takes any kind of text you give it (copy text, blog or rss feed) and breaks it down into "word clouds". These word clouds are graphic representations of word frequency. The more a word is used, the larger it appears. Common words like the, and, and the like are filtered so you can get a good view of what the text is talking about. You can also tweak the colors, fonts and layout to get the look you are going for.
I experimented a bit and came up with this word cloud for our very own blog here.
After that I fooled around a little more and thought it would be fun to compare Obama and McCain's acceptance speeches at their respective national conventions.
Interesting to see the themes popping up. Give Wordle a try and see what you get.
