'Chivalry' and 'war' are really not the same thing!<br /><br />Apart from being a bit of fun, the Wordles do have the potential to show unexpected connections between ideas that could take a lot longer to uncover using conventional close reading/textual analysis techniques. But yes, I'd want to understand exactly how word size and placement is determined before I trusted it for anything but personal use. I must take a closer look at the Wordle website to see if they have more information about the methodology.Bavardesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10737120234578385755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9071757402186489670.post-11740966158606012072009-11-09T08:35:36.373+13:002009-11-09T08:35:36.373+13:00People love talking about themselves at some level...People love talking about themselves at some level or other and some more so than others.<br /><br />The Wordle is probably a great way of controlling what your corporate clients talk about in your presence.ZACLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07289333819869440699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9071757402186489670.post-26447778296265086832009-11-09T04:00:11.121+13:002009-11-09T04:00:11.121+13:00I love it.

I'd love to use this not only for my own inspiration but for actual publications.<br /> <br />Two points: I think that you should show Wordles to corporate clients.<br /><br />Also my text was Charny's questions on war.Steve Muhlbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136005762428407135noreply@blogger.com
