Tagxedo

Every so often I create a Wordle. Today I decided to create a word cloud from the words that appear on my blog using a different tool, Tagxedo.

There were lots of options for formatting that I could have spent hours tweaking but as GeniAus is an Australian blog I chose the shape below for my first attempt and didn't play around much.

Twittersheep

I am one of many genealogists who uses Twitter.

In a Mashable post today I read about some Twitter Follower visualisation tools. I had a play with the five listed and found that by using Twittersheep I could cloud generate a word cloud from the bios of  my )@geniaus') followers. This clearly showed me the interests of my followers.

It's no surprise that Family History Genealogy and Genealogist are the most prominent words in my cloud that is reproduced below. I wonder what sort of clouds my fellow genealogy Tweeps would produce using  Twittersheep.
