Visualising political content with Wordle

Posted on by

I’ve been inspired by Leigh Caldwell‘s Economics Zeitgeist word clouds to hook Poblish up to the wonderful Wordle™.

Now you can visualise any Poblish feed with just a single click.

So, here’s Wordle’s visualisation of our most recent incoming articles from the past two days (click for full-size version).

Here’s the results for a group, e.g. our US Political bloggers (past 4 days of activity)

  4. Hi there

    Thanks for the link – I’m glad to have stimulated something. I had a vague idea of doing a political zeitgeist during the election campaign but I didn’t have an up-to-date list of political blogs, so it’s great that you have been able to do this.

    I hadn’t come across Poblish before but it looks like a really interesting platform and I’ll be exploring more of it. And written in JSP! What more could I ask for.

    Look forward to interacting more in the future.
