Apology Tag Cloud
Posted June 17th, 2008 in Blogging, Web Technology
My mate, Myles Eftos, recently blogged about this great little app, Wordle, which creates a ‘tag cloud’ based on text that you can upload.
He suggested a meme using your blog content to create a tag cloud, however rather than my own content, I used the text of Kevin Rudd’s brave Apology to the Australian Indigenous Peoples speech, delivered on 13 February 2008, to create the above.
See the larger version over at Flickr.
What tag cloud can you create using famous or important texts?

Nice interpretation Miles! Interesting to see that “sorry” doesn’t actually appear much.

Keating’s Redfern Speech makes a good comparison cloud – http://www.flickr.com/photos/200ok/2577452323/in/photostream/
I also like the way album lyrics come up – http://www.flickr.com/photos/200ok/2580721484/

I created a Wordle of Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night’s Dream. See it here.

[...] In response to Myles requests for crazy text meme’s and Miles challenge, I took Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream” speech and text clouded it. [...]

You might have unleashed an army of tag cloud artists!

ha ha, great examples folks – keep it up. Big props to Ben, who managed to do the same speech as me 2 days before as well – great minds think alike! :)
