Did you know that luxury car brands: Maserati, Ferrari, Volvo and Rolls-Royce are among the high profile words used on the home page of The New York Times?
Neither did I until I fed nytimes.com into tagcrowd for a content analysis.
Seems this tagcrowd site is going to be a practical tool for instant content analysis and display.
The New York Times is famous for their graphics of analyzing buzz words mentioned in the State of the Union address. Tagcrowd makes getting that kind of count a snap.
Seems you can feed this tool of text from a Web site, uploaded from a text file or cut and pasted in. Tag crowd reads it and spews out useful tag clouds.
These were the words most used on robbmontgomery.com
The author envisions a number of uses for them.
- as topic summaries for speeches and written works
- for visual analysis of survey data
- as brand clouds that let companies see how they are perceived by the world
- for data mining a text corpus
- for helping writers and students reflect on their work
- as name tags for conferences, cocktail parties or wherever new collaborations start
- as resumes in a single glance
- as visual poetry
Hmm. Resumes, eh?. That is not one I thought of. Well here goes. I’ll use my LinkedIn profile as it is essentially my C.V.
Great clod graphic you have here!
For me designing is the adventure, every time the process looks different.
