I just found myself on Wordle.net. I hadn’t heard of it before, but Google throws up some 900,000 results, so I’m guessing it’s already pretty popular.

Anyway, the site generates ‘word clouds’ which give you a visual representation of the most common words in a piece of text.

Here’s the result for the last few posts on this blog:

So, you can see quite easily that my recent posts have concentrated heavily on marketing and communications, and that I’ve been keeping track of business awards.

It seems to me that Wordle could be a very useful tool to help keep your marketing literature – or indeed your blog – on track. It could even be used to test for keyword frequency with a view to improving search ranking.

I’ll be posting ‘Wordles’ for my blog again, so it’ll be interesting to see how it changes over time.

In the meantime, why not try Wordle on your own blog?
