Text Visualisation with Wordle
Thanks to @dhinchcliffe I discovered Wordle this morning, a text visualization tool that takes text and renders them in a wonderful cloud. I thought it would be fun to visualize my del.icio.us links which rendered:
I am looking at that thinking, that's pretty interesting – that's the world I work in. Well done Wordle, this is a great service you've built!
On a more practical note I think that the word cloud is a great was to visualize text data, so an application like this could be used for example to:
- Present concepts to a client
- Visualise copy decks
- Analyze social network memberships and groups
Good stuff!
