I like this word cloud of President Obama’s inauguration speech that someone put together. Here’s a larger version of the cloud and a copy of the speech (I think this is who did the word cloud).

There’s also one for Obama’s Victory Speech.

FYI, the whole Inauguration Speech is available in HD.

I thought this word cloud from what I’ve been tweeting was kinda cool. I created it at TweetCloud.com. These whow the most common words I’ve tweeted, bigger means I’ve tweeted more.
I’m on vacation right now, and I do miss Twitter a little bit. I want that constant stream of information. I also have been thinking of things to tweet and I can’t.

I can compose a full blog post when I don’t have ‘net access (and I can even backdate it) but I can’t with twitter. I probably won’t use twitter at all while I’m out of the country. I’m not going to use what little internet access I have on that, we’ll see, maybe I’d find it useful in a different way.

I thought this was kinda neat, SnapShirts.com will read your site and create a blog cloud and print you up a shirt. It’s nothing fancy but pretty easy to do.

They’ll e-mail you the image to use if you want too. If you’ve never done anything to generate your word cloud, it’s easy to do and interesting to see what comes up.

So I added a new page to the site, it’s a visual representation of what I’ve been blogging about. Be sure to check it out, it’s more interesting than just the little snippet that I have here. The larger the word the more often it’s been mentioned. I’m still tweaking it but generally a word has to show up on the site (in the title or the first 15 words) around 10 times to be mentioned (I remove the common words) and I weigh it a little on what people have been searching for (to help weight more recent topics).

There is a lot more information at the bottom of my talkabout page.

I got this code from dan and sherree. I’ve modified it a bit to tie in with weird stuff stuff I do to my site (and it’s multiple files now) so you probably want to start with their file. (That was what I used in Movable Type, now I use a plug-in for WordPress).

I’ve only looked at this is a few browsers, so if the words overlap please let me know…
