Wordle

Finally got around to trying out Wordle.

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.

I of course gave it my blog as input. I let it just pick the colors, layout etc. I was rather surprised at some of the words. I don't think I've even written "Titarenko's" before. Let alone enough to make it appear on the cloud.

Hmmmn.

From your June 30th post....

Alexey Titarenko's "City of Shadows"

I found some of the smoky ones quite chilling. Better increase my Prozac dosage

Thanks Steve. I probably should increase my
Ritalin dosage too.

That suggests it only looked at the
current blog page (rather than everything under
http://blogs.sun.com/richb...). I wonder if there
is a way to do the latter.
