I made a wordle of one of our recent busier threads. via mefi →[More:]

It was a bit of a pain because I first went through the text to remove the major repeated words like "June", "Posted", etc., but the result is kind of fun.

Hey, that is kind of cool. I love tag clouds and word clouds anyway, and your colors work well.

It is a fond hope of mine to attend a meetup someday where I can inveigle people into participating in a reading of this fine piece of work, which loses surprisingly little in the way of coherence when presented as a word cloud.

Ha! That's great, LT. (There appear to be six words missing, though...)

I made one from all of the lyrics of my favorite Drive-By Truckers album, The Dirty South. (And I LOL'd when the biggest word to pop up was "ain't.")

That is as perhaps you well know Tom Servo's line.

There is incidentally something about "I made a wordle" that strongly suggests "well you're just going to have to clean it up yourself" to my mind.

That is fantastic. I particularly like "stubborn" so promimently positioned there; it's as if you know me.
