Wordleoffers 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 gotthis 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?
