A Picture from a Thousand Words

By sovknight | August 25, 2008

Found a cool thing on my blog friend Jessibella’s site today.  Basically, it takes your blog or something you’ve typed and converts it into a sort of word cloud, with prominence to words that appear more often in your text.  I thought it was cool, so I gave it a whirl.

words

Right at the beginning, I notice the words "unemployment" and "job" rearing their ugly heads.  This could be a sign.  I also see "hair", which indicates a possible fixation. 

I’m not sure how accurate this is, but it’s kinda fun.  Test it out on your own blog, and post the results!

    I made one, but to me it looks like it only read the words from my first page of my blog, and not any of my archives.
