Conspiracy theory made easy

25Jun08

Wordle is a neat little tool that generates word clouds based on any text of your choosing.  The frequency with which a term appears in the text determines the size of the word in the cloud.

I copied and pasted the full text of one of my favorite novels, Sense and Sensibility, to glean greater insight as to how Jane Austen is subtly “ruining my sense of reality, and I love it!”  The results proved to be as frightening as I imagined.

    If it did take me a fair amount of time, I confess that I know of no better way to spend my hours than to linger at the intersection of Austen, words, and web.
