Fun With Wordle: What Does Your Website Say About You?

It’s always interesting to see how a third party looks at your website even if it’s just software.

Wordle was a site created by Jonathan Feinberg who while employed by IBM Research coded this as a personal project. Here’s a description from the site:

Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.

If you go to the ‘Create‘ tab you can plug in your website’s URL or the RSS feed from your blog and see what kind of cool graphic it spits back out.

Here’s what I ended up with for Optimum Wound.

And here is the one that resulted from plugging in our sister site Blunt Force Beating. It’s a little more intense.

And finally a good slide-show presentation on some more badass ways that you can utilize this cool site and tool. Have fun.
