    Wordle offers a neat and free tool that helps you see what your communications look like (in one unique way).  Using their online tool, I submitted Rick Short's B2B Marcom blog and got this word cloud.

    It got me wondering what my other forms of communication look like. I considered inputting the copy from:

    • an ad
    • a webpage
    • a PowerPoint presentation
    • a speech
    • a press release
    • this posting
    • etc.

    Then, I wondered if such a cloud could substitute for an abstract or outline ... or if it could replace my entire presentation or paper or press release, or would it make for a better posting? So I wordle'd this posting and pasted the results here as well.

    I'm only half-serious about using a Wordle word cloud for a real press release, but, if it works like I think it should (weighing words at the top higher than words at the bottom, weighing repeated words more than words that appear only once, etc.) <UPDATE: it doesn't -see my comment> then Wordle could be a good tool to check our communications.

    What do you think about wordle and word clouds?
