If you don’t have a “word cloud” from wordle, head over and do so pronto. It’s a fascinating representation– in particular for what you’ve written in your twitter account. It will generate a beautiful cloud of your most commonly used Twitter words, and you can customize the output design with different colors, fonts, etc. You can even keep re-loading until your cloud is what you want. Paste others’ account URLs to look at other twitter clouds side by side with yours. Below is the word cloud for a random 8 pages of text fromTweet Philadelphia as of today.

As a photographer and someone with a keen interest in design, every year I am further amazed by how algorithms create beauty from data.
