Wordle

Well, that's cool. I was reading the convention coverage on Daily Kos, and something caught my eye--artfully arranged agglomerations of words used in the various speeches, with the most-used words printed in the largest type. I followed a link and ended up at Wordle.



I'm sorry, am I the last one to know? I plugged in a short-short of mine, "Switch," from the Pieces For The Left Hand collection, and got the result above. I like it--it reminds me of Edward Tufte's wonderful books on the subject of visual information. If anyone comes up with a really good one, post it somewhere for us.
