Wordle


Have you ever heard of wordle? Well of you haven't let me explain it to you by giving you guys an example. You go to http://www.wordle.net and you click "create" (wow that sounds complicated) and you just post a bunch of text in the textbox. I'm using my recent post about dreams, because that's a long one. Wordle makes a collage of the most common used words in the text and the more you used that word the bigger it is. So below you can see my wordle collage.

You can see that especially the word dream is used a lot and so are dreams, key, lake and butterfly.
Why can this program be useful?
When you're writing a story you can put your story into this website and you'll see what words you use (too) commonly. It can help improve your writing style and it could make a good thing to describe the theme of your story without giving away too much.
And anyway I like the way this wordspinthingy looks like.
