Does your email pass the Wordle test?

Wordle

Paul Ritchie at Crossderry Blog posted a Wordle, which is a “word cloud” generated from text you provide on the Wordle website.  The more frequently appearing words in the source are shown larger in the Wordle.

This is a Wordle of this recent post.  I wouldn’t have expected that people, project and team would be so emphasized.  I’m very curious to run some email messages through to see what meta-messages may be lurking beneath the surface.

Hi Alec – Wordle is all the rage and I love it! I tried generating a bunch to use as the new header for my blog, but ended up making my own as Wordle was a bit too…random, I guess.

I still l-o-v-e Wordle and imagine it’s a bit like WD-40 with over 2,000 uses!

Hi Raven,

Your new header looks good. I also like the cartoon on your latest post, http://www.ravensbrain.com/2008/09/meetings-we-dont-need-no-stinking.html.

Glad for our ongoing conversation.
Alec
