I rediscovered a tool that I had forgotten about this morning. A website called Wordle which can grab all the text from a website, rss feed or even a paragraph that you submit and graphically display the words in a semi-artistic way. Larger words representing a greater frequency of that word. Its very like a tag cloud, but looks at the whole text rather than just the tags and then produces a non-clickable picture (ignoring words like 'and' and 'the'). It gives you an attractive and visual way to find out what are popular topics on our website.
Because it was a damp Friday, I have quickly created wordles for our website and another for blog rss feed.
The wordle of our website website looks like this:
[[{"attributes": {"alt": "", "style": "margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; height: 475px; width: 800px; ", "class": "media-image large asset_lightbox", "rel": "asset_lightbox", "typeof": "foaf:Image"}, "view_mode": "media_large", "type": "media", "fid": "673"}]]
It is showing that we talk about planets, stars and Jupiters alot.
The wordle of our blog feed look like this:
[[{"attributes": {"alt": "", "style": "margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; height: 392px; width: 800px; ", "class": "media-image large asset_lightbox", "rel": "asset_lightbox", "typeof": "foaf:Image"}, "view_mode": "media_large", "type": "media", "fid": "674"}]]Overwhealmingly we talk about 'telescope(s)' and 'science' on our blog posts, which is rather reassuring.
